How My Uncle Has Been Having Sex With Me Since 2013 – 12-Year-Old Girl Opens Up

A 32-year-old man, Anthony Wayas has been arrested
Rivers State Police Command for allegedly having sex with
his 12-year-old niece since 2013.
The girl (name withheld) has been living with her uncle Wayas
and his wife in Finima community in Bonny Local
Government Area since the death of her father while she still a
baby.
The accused, Wayas and his niece
Recounting her ordeal, the girl said her uncle started abusing
her sexually in 2013. He would leave for work in the morning
and come back during the day while his wife is away at her
work place where she’s a cleaner.
She said, “He would take the children to the big room, asking
them to stay there, and would take me to the small room. He
would remove my pant and push me on the bed. He would then
remove his trousers and bring out his manhood. He would then
put it inside me and sleep with me. I can’t count the number of
times it has happened. When I told the wife, she threatened to
return me to our village .”
On April 19, her uncle dragged her into the bathroom and had
sex with her, warning her not to shout. The next day, she
reported the incident to a neighbour who told someone else
that came to interview her. After the interview, they called
youths in the area who beat him up mercilessly and almost
lynched him but for the intervention of policemen from Finima
police station, led by the Divisional Police Officer, Mohammed
Suleiman Baba.
According to a reliable source within the community, the case
of defilement was reported to the chairman of Finima Youth
Congress, Comrade Aladiokuma Hart, who in turn notified the
DPO and the girl was put in protective custody as Wayas, had
allegedly threatened to kill her if she should expose him.
Wayas however denied having sex with the girl, claiming he
has a problem with his manhood which has resulted in his
inability to make love to a woman.
Confirming the story, the Deputy Police Public Relations
Officer in Rivers State, Grace Iringe-Koko said that the case
had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation
Department for further investigations, after which the suspect
would be charged to court if found guilty of the crime.
