Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie has revealed she was rape
and impregnated when she was in primary 6. She disclosed this
information to News Agency of Nigeria during a seminar to end violence
against children. She said, “I was a victim of sexual abuse, that
was when I was in primary six, I was going to the hospital and somebody
called me. She explained that the pregnancy was about
seven months before her mother noticed it. Edochie added that her mother was shocked at the pregnancy because she thought her being strict would not allow such a thing to happen.
she continues:
“My mother asked how it happened and I told her everything; my brother picked a knife and wanted to kill me, but my mother stopped him.
“It happened that the mother of the boy that violated me was my mother’s friend; the boy’s mother was surprised but the boy denied.
“My mother took me to hospital to abort the pregnancy with a plan of taking me to my grandmother’s place at ‘Ogede’ to stay for one week before returning home.
“I told her I may lose my life in the process and because she loved me, she then aborted the planned abortion; I feel it was God that spoke through me.
According to the actress, her mother took care of the baby while she went to school, otherwise she wouldn’t have been where she was today, she explained.
The veteran actress called on parents to communicate regularly with their children and make them their best friends.
“Parents should always listen to their children’s complaints on happenings both in and outside the home.’’
