<img src="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/cover1_1753780767.png">The Niger State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development and Niger State Child Rights Protection and Enforcement Agency, has launched a manhunt for a father, Mohammed Mai Keke, who was accused of s3xually assaulting his two daughters.According to punch, the suspect allegedly sexually assaulted the girls aged nine and two while their mother and family members, who are aware of the mans incestuous behaviour, continued to shield him for fear of being exposed to the stigma associated with such practice.Investigations revealed that when the nine-year-old girl discovered that her father was also allegedly abusing her two-year-old sister, she decided to keep sealed lips in order to protect the man from being exposed claiming that the father sternly warned that she would d!e if she opened up to anyone about his amorous and indecent acts.The story became messy when another man within the compound who got wind of the girls fathers incestuous activities also decided to take advantage of the nine-year-old girl by s3xually molesting her.It was further gathered that he took advantage of the girl severally by sending her on an errand to a nearby store to buy groceries for him and whenever she returned with the items, he would take her into his room and s3xually abuse her.Sources disclosed that this routine went on severally until her father got wind of what was his neighbour was doing to his daughter, but unfortunately, he could not take any action because he prepared the grounds for the illicit act and was also involved.It was learnt that while the girls grandmother wanted the father and the neighbour punished for their crimes, the grandfather, it was said often persuaded her not to get the law enforcement personnel involved praying rather that the family should commit the matter before God.This was the situation even when the matter was eventually brought before the Director of Planning, Research and Statistics in the Niger State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, Mary Yisa and her colleague, the Director of Social Welfare Services Rachel Twaki, who both confirmed the incident to the publication.They explained that the case was at last brought to their office by the girls grandmother, but the abused nine-year-old girl did not initially want to open up and confess against her father.However, it was not after a counselling session to allay her fears and which further assured her that she wouldnt die after telling the truth, that calmed her down before she finally admitted that her father was s3xually assaulting her.The case was brought to us concerning a father that raped his two children a two-year-old girl and a nine-year-old girl, but the nine-year-old girl was shielding the whole thing until the girl was drawn closer and we asked her, if they said she would die if she told anyone and she said, yes.We started counselling her, and she opened up. Its so devastating for a father to enter into his own two-year-old daughter. There were testimonies that the wife was shielding the man. The nine-year-old girl was not going to talk until she was reassured of her safety. The case is ongoing, and another man somewhere also took advantage of the nine-year-old girl, probably knowing what was happening.He lured her by asking her to go and buy him something. The girl comes back and he will mate with her. I just enquired about the case because the grandmother insisted that the man should be punished, but the grandfather said he has left everything to God and that we should end the case, they said.A child protection officer of the Niger State Child Rights Protection and Enforcement Agency, Makusuidi Suleiman said the suspect was still at large, but the Agency has placed him under surveillance to ensure he is trailed and apprehended.The Project Director for Strengthening Community Active Participation Against Gender Based Violence, as implemented by the Global Promoters for Community Initiative with support from Nigerian Women Trust Fund, Mr Kalejaiye Olasukanmi said incest is a crime against humanity in Nigeria.We want the relevant agencies to act and ensure that Mohammed is apprehended and made to face the wrath of the law. The communities want justice. We want all relevant stakeholders to be involved in the fight against GBV and to ensure that victims get the required justice and the perpetrators are brought to book, he stressed.The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/7/agencies-launch-manhunt-for-father-accused-of-s3xually-assaulting-his-daughters-aged-2-and-9-in-niger-state-2.html">Agencies launch manhunt for father accused of s3xually assaulting his daughters, aged 2 and 9 in Niger State</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.
