Woman arrested for aborting her 15-year-old daughter's pregnancy
After allegedly raping his 15-year-old daughter, a driver identified as Raymond Anyanwu was arrested last week, in Ajao Estate, Isolo, Lagos state.
According to reports, Anyanwu had gotten his daughter pregnant and warned his wife not to tell anyone about what transpired. Mrs Anyanwu however informed her family members who proceeded to her school to confirm the information from the 15-year-old.
Mrs Anyanwu's family members had also reported the story to the state ministry of Youth and Social Development, who in turn reported to the police, leading to Ike's arrest.
According to a neighbour of the Anyanwus, the 15-year-old victim is the first child of the family, she also revealed that Ike has confessed to his crime, claiming he raped his daughter because his wife denied him of sex.
Here's what she said below:
“The man is a driver and the girl is his first child. None of us knew anything about the incident until he was arrested. The only thing we saw was that the man beat up his wife and daughter late in the night on Tuesday. The girl was pregnant and the father tried to hide it. It was her school that informed the Lagos State Government.
The girl confessed that it was her father who raped and impregnated her. The Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development alerted the police and the man was arrested. The suspect did not deny that he impregnated the girl. He knew the government was involved and he had no hiding place. We learnt he told the police that his wife did not allow him to have sex with her and he yielded to the temptation of raping his daughter.
The girl’s mother told her family members, who then went to her school. They did not know the school authorities would get the ministry involved. The matter was also reported to some child rights workers in the Oshodi area.”
On Mrs Anyanwu's involvement, she was said to have taken her daughter to have the pregnancy aborted. The pregnancy had been aborted before she was rescued and taken into the government officials' custody. Mrs Anyanwu was arrested the following day.
Here's what Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, the Lagos state Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team coordinator, had to say about the matter:
"Social workers have rescued the victim. She is now at an orphanage provided by the state government. We have also called for the duplicate case file. The girl’s mother was arrested for allegedly aborting the pregnancy. The police may grant her bail on the grounds that she has a four-year-old boy."
Confirming the incident, the Lagos state police public relations officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said investigations are still ongoing.
Here's what she said below:
“The man raped and impregnated his daughter, while the mother also procured abortion for her. The Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, has ordered that the case be transferred to the gender unit of the command for investigation. The girl is placed in a shelter because we cannot afford to see her go back to that vicinity.
She's reportedly in the care of the Lagos state government.
