A 47-year-old man, Femi Kolajolu, has been arrested by the Police
for allegedly raping and impregnating his 15-year-old niece and
attempting to rape his own daughter last November.
According to Vanguard, the man had allegedly been raping his niece
since 2013 and threatened her not to inform anyone, including her
mother.
Kolajolu who has been detained at the FESTAC Police Division, has however, denied the allegations, calling it false.
Narrating her story, the niece, a Junior Secondary School III student of a public school in Lagos, said:
“The first time it happened, I was sleeping. My uncle entered
my room and forcefully slept with me. The second time he did it, I was
sleeping in my room with my younger sister. He opened the gate, covered
my mouth and slept with me. At that time, my mother was in hospital,
ill.
“Last June, I realised I had missed my period but I did not
know what caused it. It was after my mum took me to the hospital that we
were told I was three-months pregnant.
“I intend to sit for my Junior School Certificate Examination,
JSCE, next month. Since my father died last year, my uncle took
everything he gave us. My mum was left with nothing to cater for the six
of us.”
Kolajolu's wife Ndidi, believes her husband is guilty of the allegation labeled against him.
She said: “He almost raped our first child last November. He
came around 3a.m., removed our 14-year-old daughter’s underwear and
touched her breast. I woke up when my daughter screamed. We usually do
not put off our light at bedtime, but at that moment it was off.
“We all ran to the sitting room to see who came in. As our last
child bent, she saw legs behind the curtain. When we removed the
curtain, I saw my husband standing naked.
“My daughter cried and rained curses on her father. When I told
him I was going to report to the police, he said it will not take him
five minutes to kill me.
“In December 2015, he said I and his five children (all girls)
should not visit him again because he has another woman who has given
him a son. Since last December, I am just seeing my husband today
(Tuesday)."
Despite the accusations by his niece and wife, Kolajolu maintained
his innocence. He said he didn't know anything about the pregnancy or
rape.
He added: “Even if my wife and I are at loggerheads, this is not the right way to solve it. I have never entered their room.
“Why will I sleep with my niece or my own daughter?”
