Girl Wants To Drop Surname, Accuses Dad Of Rape
A 19-year-old girl, Linda has threatened to commit suicide if her surname is not changed, alleging that the father raped her sometime in 2019.
Linda said the father committed the crime when she visited the paternal aunty.
She spoke in an interview with newsmen at the Lagos State Police Command.
The girl whose parents are separated said Akanni threatened her with death if she exposed him.
Linda’s mother, Ayinde Rasheedat who confirmed the incident said the father denied the allegation when he was queried about it.
Linda said “Words cannot narrate the trauma and pains I suffered.”
She said, “Sometime in 2019, I went to stay with my aunty (paternal) in Ilogbo Ifo, Ogun. My father came to see his sister. There was a day he called me into the room and immediately I got inside he shut the door. He used his hands to cover my mouth and told me not to shout. Even if I had shouted, nobody would have heard me.
“He raped me and told me not to tell anyone or I would die. I kept the rape to myself, but I couldn’t bear it any more. So I spoke up and my mother got to know.
“So I want government to punish him for what he did to me, but he should be made to pay for my university education.”
The mother said “Something terrible happened on 28th December 2019. When Mr Akanni Nurudeen, her father, forcefully raped her and threatened her to keep the secret or die miserably. I got to know this when my daughter asked me to allow her change her surname. She narrated the rape to my sister, Mrs Lateefat, and my sister told me about it.”
Mr Akanni has however denied the accusation “I never raped my daughter. This is the handiwork of my estranged wife. As I am speaking with you, I am paralysed. I was involved in an accident in November, 2019. That accident paralysed me. The allegation is false and I am hearing it from you for the first time.”
