“The father, the survivor and his other nine-year-old daughter live together in his single room apartment. “The survivor recalled that the first incidence happened in July when her father forcefully undressed her at about 11:00 p.m. Though she resisted, her own father raped her. “She said since then, her father’s gruesome act has been consistent weekly and precisely on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. “This caused serious emotional trauma for the young girl who is in primary five. She kept this to herself until she finally opened up to a mandated reporter. “It was the mandated reporter who reported the case to the police, took her to Mirabel Centre, a sexual assault referral centre in Lagos, which examined and confirmed forceful penetrations on her. “At the sexual assault referral centre, she was administered drugs and lodged in a private children centre in the area. “The matter was reported to DSVRT on November 21 by Ketu Police Station Family Unit after presenting hospital reports, then the father was arrested,” she said. The accused pleaded not guilty. The Magistrate, Mrs Sule Amzat, granted the accused N200,000 bail with two sureties in like sum. She adjourned the case until December 12 for continuation of trial. Section 137 stipulates 14 years imprisonment for the offender.
