How my daughter was raped -Pastor
By NICHOLAS OHWO
Friday July 16, 2004

 

A pastor of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement has given a graphical account of how his seven-year old daughter was allegedly raped by his landlady’s son.
Pastor Tony Eweema gave the account while being led in evidence by Sergeant Augustine Aghagbon at Ejigbo Magistrate Court in Lagos Wednesday, in case of rape against Oluwafemi Bamigbade, 21.

The pastor told the court that his daughter (name withheld) was washing on January 5 at about 8.30pm at the backyard in preparation for their super when she was allegedly cornered by the accused person.
"I saw Oluwafemi through window louvres urinating behind my daughter. I was surprised when Femi went to the girl and carried her to the wall even when the girl was shouting. I did not react immediately because I wanted to see what will happened," he said.

The pastor said it was when the accused person was allegedly committing the offence and he shouted.
According to Eweema, who is also a Licensed Customs agent, the accused did not give a dam about his presence nor did he show remorse for his alleged sin later. Instead, Eweema quoted him as saying that "he has given me quit notice and refused to go, whatever I see I should take since I refused to pack out. That is to say since I cannot pay in cash I should pay in kind."

Eweema further alleged the accused had few months back took his wife, sister to bed, adding that he couldn’t take any action but to send her packing because she was of age.
Besides, he said when the mother examined the girl, she allegedly confessed that the accused had made love to her several times.

"The scripture which says all things worketh for good for them that believeth did not hold my anger. I went straight to the police to report the matter and consequently, he was arrested and detained at Ejigbo police station where the case was charged to court."

The defence counsel, Mr O. D Adeleke, while cross examining Eweema who stood in for his daughter in the matter, expressed surprised that a lovely father like him could just watch his daughter being raped by a 21 year-old as claimed by him in his evidence in-chief without a proportionate response.
He urged the court to dismiss the allegation as it lacks merit and was unfounded. The Magistrate, Mr A. A. Adefulire adjourned the case till September 9, 2004 for further hearing.
