– Says father took her to the hotel and did it twice at home

– Adds that he asked her not to tell her mother

John Ofuegbu has been jailed for two years after being found guilty of sexual assault on his 10-year-old daughter.

Daily Post reports that the 58-year-old was jailed by a high court in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital after being found guilty of sexually abusing and exploiting the youngster, Ebubechukwu Ofuegbu.

The young girl told the court that the man carried out the said act on her on three different occasions; twice in his room at home and once at a hotel in Trans Amadi, Port Harcourt.

“My father asked if I like him. He said I should sit down on the bed. I asked him, Daddy what are you doing. My daddy removed his clothes and also asked me to remove my clothes. I was crying and now said I will report to my mother but he said I should not tell her.

“Another time, my mother traveled, my daddy took me to a hotel at Trans Amadi where he paid 4 thousand naira for a room. At the hotel, we watched a film which they say is a corrupt film.

“My mother took us to the hospital and found out that I have been having sex. She asked me who did it, and I told her that it was my father,” the 10-year-old narrated sadly.

Justice Adolphus Enebeli, who handled the case, noted that he was convinced that the accused person committed the abominable crime, explaining further that the man violated sections of the Rivers state Child Rights Law of 2009.

“Evidences were presented showing that the vagina of the victim had been ruptured as a result of frequent and heavy penetration,” he added.

While expressing his delight at the girl’s honesty, Justice Enebeli said he also discovered that Ofuegbu and his wife were estranged, adding that there was bitterness in the matrimony.

He informed further that “Ofuegbu took undue advantage of the natural love and bond of his daughter. He lured his child, Ebubechukwu by exploiting and manipulating his own daughter. He abandoned the duty of a father to protect his won daughter” and also slammed the man for taking undue advantage of the bond between him and his daughter.

The accused has reportedly been in prison for about five years since the beginning of the trial in 2011, while the offence is said to be a punishable crime of 14 years in prison without option of fine, but was sentenced to two years only.

In his reaction to the judgment, Ofuegbu said: “I don’t have anything to say but God in heaven will judge me. I have never abused Ebubechukwu in anyway. Where are other women? I know all these things happened because of the problem I have with my wife. But for who ever is behind this, God will judge.”

State prosecuting counsel, Cordelia Eke expressed her joy at the fact that judgment served should be a deterrent to other randy fathers.

“We derive some solace in the fact that justice has been served. I know that it cannot compensate for the trauma that she will be going through but I know that this goes to show that the state could do something about what happened to the little girl.

“We also hope that those that are victims of sexual offences such as this will be encouraged to speak up and follow up their cases to a logical conclusion,” she said.

This report is coming on the heels of recent onslaught or parent/child(ren) molestation which has attracted huge condemnation from rights activist and parents.
