A woman, Blessing Akarayere, has dragged her
husband to a Gudu Upper Area Court in the Federal Capital Territory for
allegedly raping their 11-year-old daughter.
The offender, Uche Uzogora, who lives in
Kabusa village, Apo, FCT, was remanded in police custody by the presiding
officer, Alhaji Umar Kagarko.
The complainant told the court that her
husband, after defiling their daughter, warned her not to tell anyone of the
encounter.
However, Uzogara pleaded not guilty to
the one count charge of raping a minor.
The Prosecutor, Urom Otu, told the court that
the complainant approached the Apo Polce station on Monday, May 2, 2016 with a
report that her husband raped their daughter who she left in his care and
travelled to the village in December 2015 to write an examination.
The prosecutor further revealed that the man
threatened to kill the victim if she revealed the escapade to anyone.
