Actress, Rita Edochie- ‘I Was S*xually Abused, Got Pregnant In Primary 6’

Veteran Nollywood actress, Mrs. Rita Edochie, has disclosed that she was s*xually abused as a young girl in primary school. She made this revelation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Abuja.


Mrs. Edochie, who was a guest at a seminar to end violence against children, called on parents to regularly communicate with their children. According to the actress, she was violated at a very young age by a family friend. She said:
                                     
“I was a victim of s*xual abuse, that was when I was in primary six, I was going to the hospital and somebody called me.

“The boy used some diabolic means and s*xually violated me, when I could not see my period, I refused to tell my mother, because she was very strict.
“I love sharing my experience because at the end of the day I succeeded, If I had not succeed, I would not have been able to be saying it.”
Rita Edochie explained that the pregnancy was about seven months before her mother noticed it, adding that her mother was shocked at the pregnancy because she thought her being strict would not allow such a thing to happen.


“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.


“my mother took care of the baby while I went to school; if not for my mother I would not be where I am today.’’

The popular actress then appealed to parents to communicate regularly with their children and make them their best friends. She said:

    “Parents should always listen to their children’s complaints on happenings both in and outside the home.”
