A civil servant, Blessing Ilo, on
Tuesday told a Nyanya Customary
Court, Abuja, that her husband has
been having canal knowledge of
his biological daughter.
Ilo testified in a divorce petition she
filled against the husband, James
Akpan. She said,
“All the while I was
living with my husband and that
little girl of 12 years, I don’t know
that my husband was always
having sex with her when I’m
out of the house. “I would not have suspected
anything because when my
husband brought the little girl into
the house, he told me that she was
one of his children from another
woman.
“Also, the girl was still a child that
no sane man will lust after.” The petitioner told the court that on
a particular occasion, the little girl
confessed to the police that her
father usually tie her hands before
having sex with her. Ilo said that she had to move out of
her husband’s house because he
was always messing up the house,
especially when he was drunk. She said, “My husband always
urinates around the house
whenever he is drunk; sometimes
on the bed or on the floor of the
room. “Worst of all, one day he woke up
in the night and went straight to
the kitchen, opened the bucket of
drinking water and urinated into
it.”
She also said her husband does not
provide food for the family, adding
“not even his child’s school
fees.” The petitioner begged the court to
dissolve the marriage and grant
her custody of the only child of the
union. The respondent was not present in
court. The judge, Jemilu Jega reiterated
that the respondent was served on
three different occasions but
refused to appear in court. He adjourned the case till next month for judgment.
Hummmm....
