A 14 year-old maid has sought the intervention of the law after dragging her boss, Malam Yahai, a businessman, to a magistrates’ court sitting in Garki LGA of Jigawa State for allegedly raping and impregnating her.

The 14 year-old who works as a house girl to Yahai’s wife, said he raped her several times while also asking the court to compel her boss to take responsibility of the naming ceremony of the new born baby she delivered, including slaughtering a ram and providing clothes for her son.

Narrating her ordeal before the court, presided over by Magistrate Aliyu Roni of the Maigatarin Bawan Allah Village, the victim said Yahai always took advantage of her whenever his wife was out of the house, adding: “My Lord, I cannot tell how many times he forced himself on me.”

The suspect who pleaded not guilty to the charges was also accused of trying to quash the case by giving bribe to the representative of Siyori village, Malam Salisu Makaho to influence police officers handling the case.

The case has been adjourned with a new date to be fixed for further hearing pending completion of police investigations.
