My sister’s husband forcibly had sex with me, my two siblings- 17 year old girl tells Abuja court

A 17-year-old school dropout on Friday
told a Jikwonyi Customary Court, Abuja,
that her sister’s husband forcibly had
sexual intercourse with her, and two other
sisters.
The teenager, who resides in Minna, gave
the testimony as a witness in a divorce
petition filed by her elder sister, Janet
Suleman, against her husband, Philip
Ogho.
She said,

When I was living
with my sister, her
husband attempted to
sleep with me but I
never agreed.
Whenever I refused,
he beat me.“One day
he asked me who I
am, that he can’t have
sex with me, that he
has sexed my other
two sisters living with
them.”
The witness said that her sister’s husband
kept on maltreating her until she gave in to
his request.
“He kept on beating
me, then one day I
could not bear it
again, so I allowed
him to sleep with me.
“He threatened to deal
with me if I tell my
sister. I didn’t tell my
sister but I told the
other two he had sex
with.”

She told the court that she left her sister’s
house because her sister’s husband kept
coming to have sex with her every night.
The Court’s President, Everyman Eleanya,
however, ordered that a hearing notice be
placed at the Ogho’s residence because of
his continued absence in court since the
commencement of hearing in the case.
Eleanya adjourned the case till Jan. 31 for
hearing.
