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.
“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,” she
testified.
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.
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.
