Canadian born Eliana Melekwe was allegedly raped at Bolingo Hotel Abuja by a certain Godwin Okon, a cleaner in the hotel.
Mr.
Ejike Orji, a lawyer from the AGF’s chambers, made an oral application
to the court to convey the AGF’s interest in taking over the matter
because it involved a foreign citizen.
However, counsel to the
accused, Suleiman Usman, opposed the application, arguing that the AGF
could not takeover a criminal case without the fiat of an attorney
general of the state, taking Abuja to possess the status of a state.
After
both sides had been heard, Magistrate Folashade Oyekan fixed Monday
25th June for counsel’s submission of written addresses on the propriety
of the AGF’s desire.
Mother of the rape victim, Queen Moses
Idris, had reported the matter to the Canadian High Commission in
Nigeria, citing weakness of Police prosecution. But she was advised to
first exhaust all internal mechanisms before inviting the Commission.
She consequently sought the intervention of the AGF, who instructed a lawyer in his chambers to follow the case up.
In
a letter to the AGF, she accused the Police, particularly the IPO of
deliberately frustrating the matter by not turning up in court. The
house help, Miss. Bright, who was in custody of the minor at the time of
the rape, has since been apprehended by the National Agency for
Prohibition of Traffic in Persons and Other Related Matters (NAPTIP).
According
to Idris, her daughter is currently receiving treatment at Kings Care
Hospital Abuja, after contracting Sexually Transmitted Virus (STV) from
35-year-old Okon. She said her daughter, who was unable to eat, drink or
excrete for more than a week, is suffering from “Yielded profubed staph
spotter Utlus” and “mellonotigreen mecid discharge” on her vulva.
“We
logged into Bolingo Hotel in Abuja on 11th March 2012. Two weeks later,
I secured a 28-year-old house help called Bright, through an agency;
and on 8th May, my daughter was sexually molested. I will say rape
because it has to do with oral sex,” she said.
“The 35-year-old
Godwin Okon, who works as a house cleaner in the hotel, connived with my
house help and did anal sex with my daughter. This man is a
professional because at the end of the day nothing happened at the front
(vagina). He penetrated my daughter through the anus and gave her his
manhood for sucking. The house help, being an accomplice, told my
daughter that ‘If you tell your mum, she will spank you,’ so my daughter
became scared and she didn’t tell me about the first incident.”
Continuing,
she said. “The same thing repeated itself more severely on Friday, the
11th, at about 8pm, when Okon was not working. As a cleaner, he was done
with his job by 3pm. But by 8pm, Eliana said the house help invited
Okon again to the room, and the same thing happened.
“This time
around, my house help, Bright was sitting in the room, pretending to be
watching African Magic while Okon sat, zipped down, brought out his
manhood and told my daughter to sit. While my daughter was sitting on
his lap, he tried to penetrate with his dick. When she felt the sharp
pain at her bombom like she calls it, she jumped out and cried and said
‘Aunty bright, are you not seeing what Mr. Okon is trying to do?’ Bright
repeated that ‘if you say anything to your mummy, your mummy will beat
you.’
“At that point, Okon said he was going and at that point
Aunty Bright said ‘Elliena go with Mr. Okon and lock the door.’ When she
tried to lock the door, Okon zipped down again, brought his manhood and
told my daughter to masturbate it, and told my daughter that it doesn’t
hurt, that it is very soft. While he was doing that, he put his manhood
in my daughter’s mouth and said ‘suck it like orange’ and she said,
‘while it was in my mouth mummy, I later felt some yacky stuff in my
mouth, so at that point, he released.’ My daughter said it is ‘very
yacky and she ran away, opened the door and left.”
Meanwhile, DG can report that the management of Bolingo had in the past few
weeks spent huge sums to compromise the case at the local police post
where it was first reported. They also moved to lobby local media
houses not to report the incident.
Having failed in their effort
to get the media out of the story, management has cooked up a denial
saying the infant’s mother owes them over a million naira in unpaid
bills adding that she came up with the rape story after she was written
to pay up. What a pedophile!!!
