My dad impregnated me, aborted it twice – teenager


The Human Right department of Ilemba Hausa Police Division, in Ojo area of Lagos has arrested a 49- year-old man who allegedly had been having carnal knowledge of his teenaged daughter for five years.
It was discovered during investigation that his daughter Janet(not real name)got pregnant in the  process twice, only for her father to allegedly abort the pregnancy with the aid of a herbalist.
Sitting at a corner in the Human Rights Office,  17-year-old Janet could not raise her head to face her father, Wale Akinusi, who was also there. When approached, she simply stated  that at last, she had been freed from the psychological trauma associated with her father’s sacrilegious act.
Crime Alert gathered that Janet’s tale of woe started after her mother abandoned her barely when she was  two-year-old for her  paternal grandmother.
*Wale Akinusi - The suspect.
*Wale Akinusi – The suspect.
It was gathered that her mother who was then a Junior Secondary 3 student, was impregnated by Wale who was 32 years old.  Initially, he reportedly denied paternity of the pregnancy but later  opted for an abortion on the ground that he could not afford to father a child then because he was only an apprentice.
But his mother came to the rescue as she offered to  take care of  the baby who turned out to be Janet.
But when she was 12, her father, reportedly took her from her grandmother, with a promise to give her a better education.
Rather than live up to his promise, her father,  allegedly use her to satisfy his sexual urge, a practice that went on until he was arrested.
Narrating how it all started, Janet in her sitting position with her head bowed all through, said: “When I was leaving my grandmother’s house, I was happy because my father said  I would be attending a better school. But I waited for months without being enrolled in any school.
“One night, then, I was 12,my dad called me into his room and  told me  he took  an oat with my mother to be the first man to have sex with me. He said it had a spiritual connotation and that it was to enable him assume his proper financial state.
“Then, I was too young to understand what he meant. He had carnal knowledge of me that night. At a point, he asked if it was painful. All I did was to watch him have his way, still unable to understand what he was doing.”
First pregnancy aborted by a herbalist
“It continued until I was 14 years. Then, I started having a funny feeling. I told him I was sick and when we conducted a pregnancy test, it was positive.  Next day, he told me we were going somewhere and we ended up in the home of a herbalist in Ikorodu, who gave me some concoction. I drank  some in his apartment and took the rest home. After two days,  my menstruation started  and my father assured me all was well.
He only gave me a week’s break before he continued all over again. Two years later, when I was 16 years, I got sick again. When I informed daddy,  we went for another pregnancy test which confirmed my fear; I was pregnant again!
When he returned next day from his shop, he told me there was no need to go to the herbalist. Rather he gave me two sachets of Alabukun and squeezed some lime juice into a cup, asking me to take it in a gulp. It did the magic and the menstrual flow started  few days later.”
“After the second abortion, I became tired of the whole thing. I  started being afraid every night. At times, I would put tissue paper  under my panties , pretending I was witnessing my monthly flow. After a while, he got the trick, for he started  taking note of the date.
Challenges father
“I summoned courage and reported the sacrilegious act   to our neighbors. But none of them could confront him. Rather they told me they could not interfere into our family affair” , she stated, with her head still bent.
Apparently discouraged by the cold reaction from the neighbors, Janet decided to take the bull by the horn. Looking straight into his father’s eyes for the very first time since the sacrilegious act started, she told her father she was tired of the whole thing. To make do her threat, she reportedly rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a knife and  threatened to stab him if he attempted to force her.
“This happened on November 28, 2012. My father had come home from his shop . And at about 6pm, he called me inside to warm his bed.  But when he saw the knife, he retraced his steps. I quickly ran inside my room , with the knife in my hand and packed my things out of the house, to stay with a friend whose family welcomed me after I narrated all that has been going on in the past five years.”
“After spending three weeks with them, I received a text message from my father, asking me to come home, or I would die. When I showed the text message to the family I was putting up with, they suggested I reported the case to the police. I hesitated at first because I was scared he would be jailed.
“But I changed my mind when the text message threat continued”, she said.
I did that to appease the gods – father
When approached, it was obvious that  49-year-old Wale Akinusi, a fashion designer who hails from Ondo central in Ondo state was oblivious of the legal implication of the offense, as he showed no sign of remorse.
He bluntly told this reporter that what he did was not new under the sun, adding that this would not be the first time such story would be published on the pages of newspapers.
“It is not a new thing that a man has sex with his daughter and even if I am jailed at the end,  I will surely come out after serving my jail term. But  I promise that my daughter will join me” he  threatened, dismissing the issue with a wave of the hand.
Continuing, he said: “I went back to claim my child so as to fulfill the  oat made between her mother and I.  That was why I took her  to the herbalist when she was pregnant, so as to appease the gods of her mother’s land. You will not understand.
“You see, when her mother was six months pregnant, we made love. She later told me that it was a taboo  for a man to sleep with a pregnant woman in her place. She said the only  remedy was for the man to be the first person to sleep with the child.
“I initially did not want to do it. But along the line, I discovered that things were not going on well with me financially. And when I made inquiry, I was made to understand that I had to appease the god’s of her mother’s land, so as to attain my rightful place in destiny.”
Asked why he continued after the first time, he kept mute. Also asked why he did not satisfy his sexual urge on his wife who has had four children for him, he explained that they were leaving apart.
“My wife lives  in Ketu with the children while I live in Ojo. I had to live apart because I do not want my wife and children to suffer the consequences of my sin.  Also I did not want my wife to know I was sleeping with my own daughter”, he said.
Meanwhile, effort according to sources at the Human Rights department, was on to arrest the herbalist who allegedly gave Janet the concoction that aborted her  first pregnancy,while her father would be charged to court.

Two Igbo Suspects Arrested For Swallowing 175 Wraps Of Cocaine

photoTwo suspects, Ugochukwu Nwafor and Chidozie Okonkwo were recently arrested by law enforcement agents for attempting to smuggle 2.880 kg of a substance believed to be cocaine out of the country.
The duo were found to have ingested 175 wraps of the hard drug during the screening of outbound passengers on a British Airways flight to London.
According to the commander of the National Drug Law Emnforcement Agency at the MMIA, Mr. Hamza Umar, while confirming the arrest, said the suspects were caught after an alarm was triggered by the scanning machines.
“The suspects tested positive to drug ingestion and were placed under observation. Nwafor ingested 73 wraps of cocaine weighing 1.395kg while Okonkwo ingested 102 wraps weighing 1.485kg. They were detected on the same flight,” Hamza said.
Nwafor, 37, a phone dealer at the computer village, Ikeja, who resides at Igando, said a friend lured him into the business. “I used to be a successful businessman until I made a wrong investment three years ago in which I lost over N3.5m in China. As a result of the loss, I became indebted and was lured into drug trafficking by a friend,” Nwafor confessed.
Okonkwo, who claimed to have a Master’s degree in Innovative Management from the British Institute of Technology and E-Commerce in London and resides in East London blamed his lack of a job for his present predicament: “I was only trying to make ends meet. I live in East London where I had my post-graduate studies but joblessness turned me into another man. It was a tough decision for me to smuggle drugs but I really needed the £5000 I was offered. I feel bad that things have turned this way for me. It is like a dream.”
Both suspects who are said to be cooperating with narcotic investigators, would have been paid £4,000 (Nwafor) and £5,000 (Okonkwo), respectively had they successfully trafficked the drugs into Britain.
Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade attributed the involvement of a master’s degree holder in drug trafficking to moral decadence. “Parents should inculcate good morals in their children; I urge members of the public to eschew drug trafficking by joining the anti-drug abuse and trafficking crusade. Arrangements are in place for the suspects to be charged in line with the NDLEA Act,” he said.

Day students end-of-year party turned into clash with police

WhILE their counterparts in various primary and secondary schools across the country were celebrating their 2012 end-of- the-year party in grand style, this was not the case for some secondary schools’ children in Ajeromi/Ifelodun Local Government Area, Ajegunle, Lagos, as their party ended abruptly in a brawl with men of Ajegunle Divisional Police Headquarters, last Thursday.
Numbering about 3, 000 students, they gathered on Akerele and Otuniyo Streets in Awodi-Ora area of the community to celebrate what many of them described as a hitch-free first term of the 2012/2013 academic session, which was heralded by an annual Inter-House Sports Competition organized by Awodi-Ora Secondary School, Ajegunle.
Police and students clashed
According to a student, who resides in the community, but pleaded anonymity,  no fewer than 20 public secondary schools in the community had been invited by Awodi-Ora Secondary School for an inter-school relays competition. After the competition ended, some of the students who lived around hired a Disc-Jockey (DJ), who rented the air with musical jibes emanating from his loud speakers.
As the party took-off, he said that most of the students present, took to reckless consumption of alcohol, smoking of Indian hemps, cigarettes and sexual assault of the female folks in broad day light. These acts, he however, said did not go down well with some residents who alerted men of the Ajegunle Divisional Police Headquarters, who stormed the area in a Police hilux van to restore sanity to the community.
“To our surprise, the first team of policemen who stormed the scene of the party were cowed by the students that all was well, and they left, with the students continuing in their rendezvous. No less than an hour later, another team of policemen arrived the scene, in a yellow-marked Danfo bus, but were welcomed harshly by the students, who threw stones and broken bottles at them.”
According to him, the plain-clothed armed Policemen, numbering about six were enraged as the students had smashed the rear windscreen of their bus with stones and broken bottles.
“They came down, shooting sporadically into the air and with canisters to disperse the irate students,” he revealed.
However, when Vanguard Learning visited the community, the swift action of the Policemen had scared the students who took to their heels. The Police made some arrests, while taking away one of the loud speakers and other equipment used by the DJ to liven the party.

The magnificent mansion on 15B Fokade Street, Okuatata, Effurun, Ugboro, stunned the SARS operatives, when they made the startling discovery. The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Umar Manko, told Crimewatch that Abanara (aka million)  and his gang had been declared wanted   over the kidnapping of former Lagos State House of Assembly  Minority Leader, Hon.

He noted that the  kidnappers demanded N30million   from the Adeniyi family but they were able to collect N4milion. They collected it only for them to  hold on to his son who brought the money. He said  another huge money was paid before Adeniyi’s  son was released after being held hostage for two weeks.
Manko said that  the officer-in-charge of  SARS, Abba Kyari (SP), mounted surveillance on the house of the gang leader in Effurun. “We have four of kidnappers in our custody and they confessed that the mansion belonged to their gang leader and when we eventually  struck, the gang leader, Abanara, escaped  and we arrested  a member of the gang who always sponsored them anytime they wanted to carry out their operation.”
The name of the  suspect is Osanmor who told Crimewatch that “I am  part of the gang  that participated  in the kidnapping  of former Minority Leader of Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Adeniyi  and took him to Sapele. “I always gave out my  money to my gang which they  usually used to carry out the assignment sometimes, I gave out the sum  of N100,000. “Also, it was Abanara who is our gang leader and we usually called him after carrying out our operations, we used to share the money,” he said.
Another suspect, Raymond also said: “I am a member of the gang that kidnapped Hon. Adeniyi and my major role  was  provision of cars for the operation,” he said. CP Manko said that the police have  declared  total war on kidnappers in the state. He also said that the command was still investigating the case.
On the mansion which the gang leader built, he said: “We have declared Abanara wanted, promising that he will soon be arrested.”
