House-girl Raped By Her Lebanese Boss In Lagos Gives Birth To Baby Girl

The 17-year-old housemaid, Rhoda,
who accused her Lebanese boss, a
chef with one of the prominent
Lagos hotel, Hassan Ali Husseini, of
r*ping her while working for him,
has put to bed.
The teenager, who is in custody of
National Agency for the Prohibition
of Trafficking in Persons,
reportedly put to bed in a hospital
at the Police College in Ikeja.
A source at the agency disclosed
that the baby, a girl, has the
features that make it
incontrovertible that the child
belongs to Mr Husseini. He had said
he would accept the baby if he/she
looks like him.
Mr Husseini had denied that the he
r*ped Rhoda, but that the s*xual
affair they had was consensual.
Punch had reported NAPTIP Zonal
Commander, Mr. Joseph Famakin,
as saying that Husseini offered to
take responsibility for the child if it
resembled him, saying he would
accept it as “a gift from God.”
He said it was not the place of
NAPTIP to prosecute the accused
for alleged r*pe but the duty of the
police.
The NAPTIP boss had also hinted at
the possibility of a DNA test being
conducted on the baby.
Famakin said his officials had
visited the girl’s hometown in Kogi
State to make some findings about
her age and the circumstance
under which she came to Lagos.
He said, “It is clear it is not a case
of trafficking. But the girl’s
brother, who brought her to the
Lebanese man is in the best
position to clarify what the
arrangement was. But he has so far
stayed in hiding.
“The Lebanese man too has taken
responsibility for the child and the
mother even though the mother
and child are still in our
Until a DNA test is conducted, we
would not be able to say with 100
percent certainty that he is the
father.
“The man has so far adhered to his
bail condition and has always
appeared when we need him.”
The girl and her baby are said to
be doing fine.
