One
Benita, 12 years old house help has alleged that her master sexually abused
her. She said this to the police after she was arrested by men of the Rapid
Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police command at Mile 2 while fleeing
home with her master’s two sons.
According
to a source, the RRS operatives who were suspicious of the girl, interrogated
her and she disclosed that her master, 36, raped her 5 times in less than seven
months period she stayed in his house.
Benita,
a primary school leaver from Imo state south East Nigeria was said to have been
intercepted at about 10pm on Thursday last week after alighting from a
commercial bus from Olodi – Apapa trying to board another bus to Maza maza. The
RRS officials on sighting her with two children aged six and four years old,
invited her for questioning.
She
disclosed to the officers that she was heading to Maza maza to board a night
bus to Imo state. Puzzled, the officers dug deeper and it was at that point
that she disclosed to them that her uncle, who brought her to Lagos to continue
her education while she assisted his wife domestically, had carnal knowledge of
her 5 times.
The
suspect, Ozuocha was subsequently lured to RRS headquarters in Alausa Ikeja
Lagos through his telephone number provided by his six year old son.
Benita
stated that any time her uncle wanted to sleep with her, he would come home
early and lock his three children out of his one room self –contained apartment
adding that she was not comfortable living in the house and further stressed
that all the things the uncle promised her parents before leaving the village
and those that he promised her before sleeping with her were yet to be
fulfilled.
She further revealed that she had to tell her
uncle’s six year old son, who asked her what his father did to her each time he
lock the three of them out of the apartment. According to her, “I confessed to
the boy what was happening. The boy in turn told her mother, who confronted me
and I confirmed all that her husband had done to me. She threatened to pack out
but they later resolved it after her husband promised it won’t happen again. I
have been staying with the three children at home while they go about their
business. He has refused to enrol me into school since July, 2017”.
