A Gudu Upper Area Court in the Federal Capital Territory yesterday
remanded, Uche Uzogora, for allegedly defiling his 11-year-old daughter.
The presiding officer, Alhaji Umar Kagarko, remanded the defendant in
police custody, and adjourned the case till July 25 for hearing.
Earlier, Blessing Akarayere, wife of the defendant, told the court
that her husband Uzogora raped their 11-year-old daughter. Uzogora, who
resides in Kabusa village, Apo, FCT, however, pleaded not guilty to a
count charge of raping a minor.
The Prosecutor, Urom Otu, told the court that the complainant
reported her husband of raping their daughter at the Apo Police Station
on May 2. Otu said the complainant told the police that she left the
victim in the care of her husband when she travelled to her village in
December 2015 to write an examination. He added that the defendant
allegedly had sexual intercourse with the minor without her consent and
threatened to kill her if she tells anyone.
