A mother of three, Lovelyn Onyekachi, and her suspected lover, Uchenna Ekwenye, are in police custody over allegations of serial sexual attacks and defilement of her three children, aged 5, 7 and 9 years.
Information from the police says the children were not given adequate attention by their mother, a development that allegedly created the avenue for her lover to violate them. But the police have vowed to unravel the circumstances that led to the alleged sexual attacks and defilement of the three children.
Consequently, the case has been transferred from Lagos to Abuja, where the duo are currently being detained.
Investigation revealed that the police were alerted by neighbours, following claims that the children were regularly violated by their mother’s lover they call “uncle”. Lovelyn, it was gathered, had brought the children back to Nigeria from South Africa, about three years ago, following alleged disagreement with her husband and father of the children, Paul Onyekachi, a Nigerian pastor based in South African.
Report says on getting to Nigeria, the mother allegedly met and fell in love with Ekwenye, who allegedly
became a regular visitor to their house located at Adjacent 7B Esther Ibekwe Street, Jakande Estate, Isolo, Lagos.
But, in a petition to the police and the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Lagos State, Nick Onyebuchiomeye & Co, solicitors for the accused, debunked the allegations, claiming that they were a ploy by the father of the children to forcefully take custody of his children.
