A 14-year old Primary 5 pupil who lived alone with her father at Bishop Oluwole Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, has told the police that her father, Ikoro Nwafor John, 57, raped her four times between March and May 2013 after giving her N200 to go to school every day.
John was arrested by the police at the Bar Beach Division and arraigned before an Igbosere Magistrate’s Court, Lagos, on a one count charge of allegedly forcefully having unlawful and indecent carnal knowledge of a minor without her consent.
Narrating her ordeal in the hand of her father to the police in her statement, the little girl allegedly said:
“After asking my mother that she should reunite me with my father, she brought me to my father in Lagos, from her sister’s place in the eastern part of Nigeria where she dropped me after she separated from my father few years ago.
