Her words, “My father forcefully abused me sexually beginning from 2019, this occurs almost on a daily basis,irrespective of my resistance due to pains and injury I sustained from the ungodly act,first I reported the case to my step mother because my mother is late. She confronted my father but she was beaten and this led to her fleeing from my father’s house with my Step Sister.

“When the incidence was becoming unbearable to me,I ran and reported to the police which led to his first arrest but due to the intervention of my aunty,who did not believe my story,he was released on bail.

After his released from the police cell,I did not have any option than to return back to the house and stayed with my father.
