[STORY] THE ABOMINATION (Final Episode 14)

Episode 14. (Final Episode)

Our joy was cut short on the second trimester of my pregnancy. It was on Saturday afternoon after we were done with lunch that two men knocked at our door. I couldn’t go for the door because of my condition. Kassim went to open the door but came in with these fearless looking men. Good afternoon, I’m Inspector Boniface Ada, my colleague is Fred Sam. We are men of the NPF from Lagos state command. I guess you are Mr Kassim Olabisi? He said, pointing at my husband. Yes, how may I help you?
Kassim questioned the policemen. You are under arrest for the rape of Mrs Esther Ele on the 12th of October, 19… You may remain silent or anything you say here shall be used against you in the court of law.

The iniquity that was buried had been unburied again. My husband was handcuffed and taken away. I called Baba immediately to inform him the police had arrested Kassim. Make sure you know where they are taking him to, baba told me. I picked my bag and followed them. While at the police station, I called Toyin to meet me immediately. Toyin arrived before baba came. She quickly introduced herself as Barrister Toyin and requested to see the DPO. She spent almost one hour with the DPO but her countenance spoke volume when she came out of the DPO’s office. What is it Toyin? I hurriedly asked her. She sighed and took me to the car. It is rape case of over seventeen years. He has been placed on a WANTED list and the case is not of this locality. He will be taken to Lagos tomorrow where he will be tried for the charges against him. We cannot seek for bail because it is not within our jurisdiction. So Toyin, what can we do now? Hmmmm, let me think, she requested.

Toyin called about three of her lawyer friends in Lagos to help us follow up until we get a substantial lawyer who will stand for us but they all declined. It was a case at the table of Lagos state commissioner of police with special interest of the inspector general of police. Kassim was held in custody that night and was taken to Lagos very early the following day.
My condition did not let me follow them. My brother in-law took the next available flight to Lagos to follow up with the case.
In a nutshell my husband was jailed. He saw my pregnancy but he never saw the baby. I gave birth to a baby girl after some months. Fast forward, my husband spent ten years in prison. By the time he came out our daughter was already ten years old.

We couldn’t have any other child again because I was already menopausal. I stopped seeing my menses at 46. Kassim later became a pastor and dedicated his entire life to God.
Anuoluwapo is our daughter’s name. Today Anu is just 16 and she has been raped six times by different men. Did God visit the iniquity of the father on the daughter?
