Narrating what happened to Tribune, the little girl said
"Uncle Anthony is a father to me. He is my father’s brother. My father
is dead and my mother is in our village at Adamawa State, married to
another man now. I don’t go to school. I finished Primary 6 and was
supposed to start JSS1 but I was not sent to secondary school by my
uncle. I usually stay at home to do house chores. I would then take my
cousins to school and come back home to work. I would go back to the
school in the afternoon to pick them. My Uncle started sleeping with me
in 2013. How it happened was that he would leave for work in the
morning and come back in the afternoon while his wife is away at work
where she works as a cleaner. He would take the children to the big
room, asking them to stay there, and would take me to the small room. He
would remove my pant and push me on the bed. He would then remove his
trousers and bring out his manhood. He would then put it inside me and sleep with me. I can’t count the number of times it has happened. When I
told the wife, she threatened to return me to our village. On Saturday,
April 19, my uncle asked me to mix hot and cold water for him to take
his bath. He took the bucket to the bathroom and asked me to bring his
sponge to him. As I took the sponge to him, he dragged me into the
bathroom and had sex with me. There were people in the house but he
warned me not to shout. The following morning, I told one woman in our
compound. She, in turn, told someone and when the person interviewed me,
he called in the Finima youths. I am surprised that my uncle is
denying.” she said
Anthony denied the accusation made by the little
girl saying he has suffered erectal dysfunctional for a long time due to
a sexually transmitted disease he suffered sometime ago.

a sexually transmitted disease he suffered sometime ago.
"I
am surprised at what she said that I was having sex with her because it
is not true. I have a problem with my manhood which has resulted in my
inability to make love to a woman. I have not been experiencing erection
at all. I was told by my doctor that it was caused by syphilis that I
once had. He said the sexually transmitted disease was not well treated
when I had it. It also resulted in my having zero sperm in my semen
which the doctor said would not make me have a baby. I was given
Proviron to boost my sperm count.” he said.
Anthony's wife, who the girl accused as an accomplice,
says her husband has sexual challenges and that Karen never told her of
her husband's sexual advances

"We have been
married for 14 years but, initially, my husband had low sperm count. He
married another woman after me but we got pregnant at the same time
after several prayers. I have a child and the other woman has two. She
has left and I am the one taking care of her children with mine. Karen
is my husband’s niece. She came to us after her father died and she was
just about a year old then. I am confused about the whole issue because
my husband had been having weak erection for over a year and had not
been able to make love to me. We sought medical help and the doctor
recommended some drugs. Since the drugs are expensive, we have resorted
to prayers. I am not defending my husband but I don’t understand how he
was able to have sexual relationship with the girl with his current
condition. And Karen did not inform me as she claimed. If she did, I
would have admitted it,” the wife said.
Deputy Police Public Relations Officer in Rivers State,
Grace Iringe-Koko confirmed the incident and says investigation is
currently going on and if he is found guilty, he would be charged to
court.
