The sexual assault however was later noticed during
police investigations to have boomerang into
pregnancy. The little girl, Blessing recounted her
ordeal saying:
“The first time my mother was not around, he took
cane and was beating me and told me that if I
messed up, he would kill me, that if I shouted or if
my mummy heard anything about it, he was going
to kill me.
“So the one that happened on Thursday, November
13, 2014, I told him that I would tell my mummy and
I dared to see if he would kill me. So l told my
mummy. He raped me four times, the first time was
when my mother travelled to Makurdi, Benue State.’
Confirming she traveled to her home state (Benue)
not long ago, Blessing’s mother, Mrs Grace Richard,
who is 30 years of age made it known that her
daughter reported to her that the stepfather raped
her but her husband denied it when she confronted
him.
‘’That was two months ago when I travelled to
Makurdi and she told me immediately I came back,”
the mother said. My husband denied and even
threatened to beat me black and blue if l ever asked
him such a question again” , Blessing’s mother said.
With neighbors bearing witness that they heard the
loud cries of the girl during one of the sexcapades,
the young girl was taken to the hospital and various
medical tests revealed that the girl has been
deflowered and she’s pregnant. Although Mr.
Richard was arrested for the allegations, he was
secretly bailed by his father.
However, the investigating police officer, IPO, in
charge of the case, who did not want her name
mentioned, told Sunday Vanguard that Blessing was
indeed pregnant but that investigations were in
progress and Richard has been re-arrested.
