Richard Odiwe harbored the girl at his residence after she allegedly fled the home of her grandmother at Ago-Alagbede, Agbado, Ogun State, last Tuesday after she was told that her uncle wanted to beat her for her unruly behavior.
A Punch correspondent was told that Odiwe was formerly living with his younger brother, who is a tenant of the girl’s grandmother.
He was, however, sent packing in 2013 after he was suspected of sexually abusing female children in the community. The girl later revealed that Odiwe had been having sex with her since 2013. She said, “He has been having sex with me for a long time. My friends and I would go to beg him for money. He would give us N50 or N200 at times; have sex with us and warn us not to tell anybody.
My sister told me that my uncle wanted to beat me. Out of fear, I fled home and headed for his house. I met his daughter in the living room, mopping the floor. I went into the inner room. While the daughter was still busy with domestic chores, he had sex with me When I was asleep on Tuesday night, he touched me.
I woke up and told him that I was not interested, but he forced me and had sex with me again. I went out on Wednesday, and was returning to his house in the evening when my sister saw me and took me home.” After being arrested by the police from the Agbado Police Division; shortly after the incident was reported to a rights group called, CEE-HOPE – Centre for Children’s Health Education, Orientation and Protection, Odiwe, who confessed to having sex with the girl, said he was tempted and he foolishly bought into her advances.
He said “To be frank because I don’t want to tell lies, she started being funny and pestering me at night. I had sex with her once. The 3 of us slept on the same mattress, although my daughter was fast asleep then.” The girl’s grandmother later said she suspected that her privates parts had been tampered with because of her incessant bedwetting.
