A 40-year-old policeman, identified as Andy is currently charged at the Ikeja Special Offences and Domestic Violence Court for defiling a nine-year-old pupil.

“On that day, Brother Andy called me when I got back from school and sent me on an errand. He sent me to go and buy milk for him. Then he gave me N200.
“I bought the milk and when I returned, he asked me to bring it inside his room. He then said I should drop the milk on the table and sit down.
“When I sat down, he now told me to lie on the bed and remove my pant. He now put his penis in my bum bum. He put his penis at my front bum bum (she demonstrates by pointing at her vagina).
“After that, he asked me to hide under the bed when my elder sister came calling my name.
“One of our neighbours, Chioma, even entered his room to buy recharge card for him, though she didn’t see me, I saw her from under the bed.
“And because my elder sister was shouting my name and looking for me, officer told me to pretend like nothing happened and that I should pass through the backyard gate.”
When she was eventually found by her sister, she said she lied that she had been visiting a friend. However, her sister insisted that she took her to the friend’s house and that was when she had to confess.
“I started begging her not to beat me, and I told her that I was inside officer’s room. My sister beat me and reported to my father who was very angry,” she said.
“When my mummy came back from the market where she sells abacha (African salad), my sister reported me again.
“This time, my mummy threatened to kill me if I don’t tell her what happened. I became afraid and told her the truth.
“Immediately, my mummy called all her brothers and they came to our house the following morning and took us to Amukoko Police Station to report.
“It was after we made a report at the station that the Police came and arrested Brother Andy.”
The witness said she was referred by authorities to a Sexual Assault Referral Centre, the Mirabel Centre, where the doctors revealed that she had been sexually abused on several occasions.
The matter has been adjourned till October 30.
