– Man repeatedly molests 12-year-old daughter and
impregnates her in the process
– Forces her to commit a five-month abortion through a
rather crude process

– Sources say Bayelsa man is a known pervert and
witnesses are ready to testify against him
Bamekpa, the Bayelsa man who impregnated his 12-year-
old daughter.
A Bayelsa-born father identified as Bamekpa has
reportedly taken his 12-year-old daughter for abortion
after allegedly impregnating her.
The youngster, identified as Queen (surname withheld) is
presently undergoing medical treatment owing to alleged
abuse by her father after suffering serious injuries.
According to The Nation, the young girl is currently in
pains and at a point, bled profusely from her private part
at the Bayelsa hospital where she is presently undergoing
treatment.
Reports say the father, a native of Imiringi, Ogbia local
government area, Bayelsa state, had started defiling Queen
at the age of 11 and had serially molested and eventually
impregnated her.
The girl was forced to abort a four-month-old pregnancy
through a crude process that currently threatens her life
as she told Operation Rescue (OPER), a human rights
group, led by Princess Elizabeth Egbe, that she had to run
away from the house when she could no longer bear her
father’s devilish craving.
“There was nobody to help me. He kept doing it despite
my efforts to stop him. It was a painful and violent
experience. I ran away from home because there was a
time I bled so much from my private part.
“When I became pregnant and he heard about it, he
handed me over to a lady who took me through an
unsuccessful process of abortion. I have been suffering
series of health issues after the abortion,” the young girl
said amid tears.
The girl’s uncle, David Apigi expressed shock at the way
she was allegedly violated by her father, stating that, “My
niece told me the trauma she has been passing through in
her father’s house and how her father has been using her,
turning her to his second wife.
“She said he had sex with her to the extent that he
aborted her four-month-old pregnancy. She ran to me and
begged me not to allow her to return to her father’s house
because she was tired. I decided to accommodate her. The
father started looking for her without knowing she was
with me.”
After reporting the incident at the Kolo police station, Apigi
said he asked them to hold on to enable him make some
investigations and that afterwards, he called his cousin,
Rex Ogboku, in Abuja who subsequently reported the
matter to the Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA).
FIDA was said to have been sluggish in their response,
and according to Apigi: “My cousin, Rex Ogboku, in Abuja
called FIDA to inform them about the situation. But the
way FIDA was going about the issue was too sluggish for
my liking. I decided to contact the Operation Rescue.
“We went back to the police and the Otuasiga Police
Station arrested the man. The process through which the
Otuasiga Police Station was handling the case was not
satisfactory.
“Imagine a situation where somebody was arrested and
while in detention he was still having access to his phone,
making calls. He even called me. He called my uncle,
trying to plead with him for settlement. I moved the case
to Kolo Police Station.”
The suspect is said to be a known sexual pervert as
allegations arose that he had slept with his biological
sisters, with some of his victims said to be ready to testify
against him in court.
“Our investigations showed that the little girl had been
perpetually raped by her father who impregnated her and
forced her through abortion that has left her with so many
health problems.
“When the girl was pregnant, she did not know. Her
stepmother discovered she was pregnant and informed the
father. The father handed her over to a lady who took her
to a quack doctor for an abortion.
“After the abortion, the girl came back home and
discovered she was bleeding from her private part. The
father took her to that same lady who then took her to
other places. The girl is still in pains and highly
traumatised. She has been going through series of medical
treatments.
“We want the police to really investigate this matter and
get to the root of the case. We want the doctor to be
arrested, and we want everybody that is involved to be
arrested and prosecuted to serve as deterrent to other
people who are involved in this act of perpetual evil
against the girl-child. The girl-child is tender and has a lot
to contribute to nation-building,” Egbe explained further.
