A 53-year-old trader, Nzewi Donatus is currently facing a two-count
charge at the Ojo Magistrate court, Lagos, for having canal knowledge of
his daughter, Oluchi Nzewi , 18, without her consent which is an
offense under section 258 of the criminal laws of Lagos state .
He is also being charged for threatening to kill one Ngozi Emeka, for
reporting him to the police which is punishable under section 56 of the
criminal laws of Lagos state Nigeria.
Donatus, a tenant at No. 11, Akoberu street by Cele bustop, Ojo was
reported to the police by Ngozi Emeka who is a friend to the deceased
wife of Donatus after he, (Donatus) chased his daughter out of the house
because she accused him of having sex with her.
Oluchi, who appeared before the court narrated her shocking side of
the story. She alleged that the father has been having canal knowledge
of her for five years after the death of her mother.
“My father has been having sex with me whenever I am asleep and there
is this drink he always forced me to drink before I sleep and when I
wake up, I do noticed sperm all over my body. When I asked him, he
will deny it and warn me never to ask him such question.
On the 15th day of August when I woke up, I noticed such on my body
again and this time, I was bold enough to ask him but when I did, he
beat me up and sent me out of the house. So, I went to one Ngozi for
shelter and when I narrated my pains to her, she quickly ran to the
police to file a report,” she lamented.
Greenwich news gathered from a reliable source that ever since his wife
died,the suspect has been maltreating his daughter by even sitting with
her at a bar taking alcoholic drinks.
He also allegedly chases away any male friend that comes visiting his
daughter. Some people who never knew his reasons for doing such
thought he was preventing them from the corrupt society little did they
know that he was doing so for his own selfish interest.
Greenwich news also learnt that when he was invited to the police
station, he never showed any remorse but instead he was disturbing and
causing nuisance at the station. He also allegedly threatened to kill
Ngozi Emeka for reporting “a case that did not concern her” to the
police.
Another witness who pleaded anonymity also disclosed that he saw
Donatus beating his daughter but when he tried interfering, he got the
worst insult of his life. “When I heard Oluchi screaming for help, I ran
to see if I could talk to his father. But when I tried doing so, he
gave me the worst insult of my life accusing me of having a secret
affair with his daughter. I got pissed off and had to leave so as to
mind my business”.
When the charges were read to him by the prosecutor, Supol Eze, he
pleaded not guilty but the presiding Magistrate, Mrs J.O.E Akhanamaya,
rejected his bail and he was remanded at kirikiri prison custody for
further hearing of his case.
