He impregnated his daughter twice – Bauchi Governor’s wife narrates
Dr Aishatu Bala Mohammed, the wife of Bauchi State Governor, has narrated a very disheartening tale of how a man abused his daughter and got her pregnant.
Speaking to the media in a statement, Dr Aishatu revealed that the girl who is now a victim of molestation and abuse was initially not living with her dad until her mom married her dad.
Dr Aishatua added that her mom had travelled and left the girl and her father and on her return, the girl was pregnant.
Upon interrogation, the daughter disclosed to her how her father abused her severely.
A few months after, the mother who was also impregnated by the husband died following a long battle with stroke leaving the girl with no option but to live with the father.
The father took advantage of the situation to molest her again and again impregnated her for the second time and gave birth to her second child.
Dr Aishatu indicated that she lodged an official complaint to the Hisbah Board that caused the man’s arrest and was jailed for 7 years.
“The mother took custody of the daughter after she separated from the girl’s father. The girl asked her mother to take her to her father following bullying from peers that she had no father. The mother complied and the father requested to remarry the mother. She agreed to remarry him, dropped the daughter and left,” Dr Aishatu said.
“Before she returned, the father had molested the daughter. The girl complained to her mum. The father admitted when confronted by the mother. The mother took her daughter to the hospital, and both were found to be pregnant by the father.
“Unfortunately, the mother died from a stroke after giving birth. Following her death, the mother’s family rejected the daughter and took custody of the mother’s baby. Left with no choice, the daughter returned to her abusive father
“The father’s abuse continued, and he married another woman. When the daughter told her stepmother about the abuse, the stepmother confronted the father, who admitted to the abuse. The stepmother left him, but the father continued to abuse the daughter, resulting in another pregnancy.
After the daughter gave birth to her second child, neighbours reported the situation to the Hisbah Board of Kano, leading to the father’s arrest and 7-year imprisonment.”
