Ex-Governor Timipre Sylva of Bayelsa State former aide, Chief Perekeme Kpodo is in hot soup.
His female staff has told a Bayelsa High Court how he raped her… “I was employed as a cashier by Kpodo, the owner of the hotel. Whenever I went to submit cash to him, he usually touched me. I did not like the way he used to touch me. So, I reported it to the employment agency that helped me secure the job, and they advised me to plead with him.”
“I talked to him that it was a sin and that I did not like the way he used to touch me any time I went to his office. After my protest, he stopped for some time. After some time, he started again. That fateful day, he locked the door and raped me. I shouted and also pleaded and he said he would not leave me until he was satisfied with me.”
“So, when he finished, he asked me to clean myself and to bring his food. He did not use a condom and I was injured. He removed my pair of trousers and I kept struggling with him until he finished.”
“I called my uncle who is a policeman and he came and took me home. The next day, we went to report the incident to the police and they gave me a medical report form which I took to a hospital.”
“The hospital conducted tests, including an HIV test on me and thereafter prescribed some drugs which I have been taking.”
