GIRL TESTIFIES DAD IMPREGNATED MARRIED SISTER
A 10-YEAR OLD girl who was allegedly repeatedly defiled by her 40-year-old father testified how she found her dad having sex with her married elder sister, who later conceived. .
“She (elder sister) later became pregnant and said it was not dad that used to have sex with her, but I knew that it was dad who used to have sex with her.
“After some time, I noticed that her stomach started becoming big. I asked her what was causing her stomach to be big, and she said it was nothing,” the minor, whom we shall call Lulu, told a magistrate yesterday.
Lulu said when she informed her mother about the incestuous acts, she did nothing about it as she doubted the revelation.
“When my mother came back [home], I told her what I had seen my father doing [to my elder sister], but she said ‘no, maybe it was her (elder sister’s) husband’,” she said.
Lulu’s father, whom we shall call Mr Jojo, is charged with incest, which attracts a minimum of 15 years’ imprisonment and up to life in a correctional facility.
It is claimed that in March last year, Mr Jojo, a herbalist, would force himself on Lulu.
The accused, who was at the time married to three women, two of whom are also appearing in court for trying to bribe police to secure his release from detention, pleaded not guilty.
During continued trial yesterday, Lulu testified that one day last March, her father lifted her at night from her bedroom and took her to the sitting room and defiled her.
