John Ofuegbu has been jailed for two years after being found
guilty of sexual assault on his 10-year-old daughter.

Daily Post reports that the 58-year-old was jailed by a high
court in Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital after being
found guilty of sexually abusing and exploiting the youngster,
Ebubechukwu Ofuegbu.


The young girl told the court that the man carried out the said
act on her on three different occasions; twice in his room at
home and once at a hotel in Trans Amadi, Port Harcourt.


“My father asked if I like him. He said I should sit down on the
bed. I asked him, Daddy what are you doing. My daddy
removed his clothes and also asked me to remove my clothes.
I was crying and now said I will report to my mother but he
said I should not tell her.

“Another time, my mother traveled, my daddy took me to a
hotel at Trans Amadi where he paid 4 thousand naira for a
room. At the hotel, we watched a film which they say is a
corrupt film.



“My mother took us to the hospital and found out that I have
been having sex. She asked me who did it, and I told her that it
was my father,” the 10-year-old narrated sadly.

Justice Adolphus Enebeli, who handled the case, noted that he
was convinced that the accused person committed the
abominable crime, explaining further that the man violated
sections of the Rivers state Child Rights Law of 2009.

“Evidences were presented showing that the vagina of the
victim had been ruptured as a result of frequent and heavy
penetration,” he added.

While expressing his delight at the girl’s honesty, Justice
Enebeli said he also discovered that Ofuegbu and his wife were
estranged, adding that there was bitterness in the matrimony.
He informed further that “Ofuegbu took undue advantage of the
natural love and bond of his daughter. He lured his child,
Ebubechukwu by exploiting and manipulating his own
daughter. He abandoned the duty of a father to protect his won
daughter” and also slammed the man for taking undue
advantage of the bond between him and his daughter.


The accused has reportedly been in prison for about five years
since the beginning of the trial in 2011, while the offence is
said to be a punishable crime of 14 years in prison without
option of fine, but was sentenced to two years only.


In his reaction to the judgment, Ofuegbu said: “I don’t have
anything to say but God in heaven will judge me. I have never
abused Ebubechukwu in anyway. Where are other women? I
know all these things happened because of the problem I have
with my wife. But for who ever is behind this, God will judge.”
State prosecuting counsel, Cordelia Eke expressed her joy at
the fact that judgment served should be a deterrent to other
randy fathers.


“We derive some solace in the fact that justice has been served.
I know that it cannot compensate for the trauma that she will
be going through but I know that this goes to show that the
state could do something about what happened to the little girl.
“We also hope that those that are victims of sexual offences
such as this will be encouraged to speak up and follow up their
cases to a logical conclusion,” she said.


This report is coming on the heels of recent onslaught or
parent/child(ren) molestation which has attracted huge
condemnation from rights activist and parents.

What could be the cause of this increased rate of fathers defiling their daughters?

Why 2 years?.....he should have been jailed for 20 to 25 years.

Ritual things. I think capital punishment is the best for cases like these.

The Heart of MAN is wicked

2years instead of 14years?? The judiciary is a joke. Since the man has spent 5years already awaiting trial, does that mean he is a free man now??

Y not just castrate the he-goat. Useless father!
