“The phenomenon
of rape is all over the country, being reported in all the 36 states including
the Federal Capital Territory and the 774 Local Government Areas of the
nation.” – Dr. Gloria Shajobi-Ibikunle
Fatima Usman could not take it anymore. The grossly traumatised 19-year-old said, her 52-year-old father, Usman Momoh, raped her at age 12 on the kitchen floor in the Owo area of Ondo State.
Fatima
in a viral video accused her biological father of having sexual intercourse
with her since she was 12 years old. She further disclosed that her father had
been sleeping with her repeatedly while her mother did nothing even after
reporting the horrific acts to her.
Fatima said, “He would always threaten to kill me while holding a knife if I ever tried to expose him. He normally wakes me up in the middle of the night in our room and takes me to the kitchen to have sex with me. He usually holds a knife during the process.”
