47-year-old Nigerian man impregnates niece; attempts to rape his own daughter

47-year-old Femi Kolajolu has been arrested by the officers of the Nigeria Police for allegedly raping his 15-year-old niece, eventually getting her pregnant. The father had also been accused by his wife of attempting to rape their daughter in November 2015.


In her statement to the police, the victim recounted how the adult male had ambushed her.
“The first time it happened, I was sleeping. My uncle entered my room and forcefully slept with me,” the girl said, “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 realized I had missed my period but I did not know what caused it,” the victim continued, “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.”

Speaking with the police Femi’s wife, Ndidi, said she was not “surprised” at the accusations leveled at her husband. “He almost raped our 14-year-old first child,” the mum of five said, “He [also] said we should not visit him again because he has another woman who has given him a son.”

But Femi denied the allegation, claimed that he was being framed because of the altercation he had with his wife. Meanwhile, the coordinator of the Lagos State Domestic Violence and Sexual Response Team, Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, said they will proceed to file charges against him after the police has given them the duplicate of the case file.
