The Managing Director of a Lagos-based financial institution, Stretchout Finance and Exclusive Rendezvous, Mr Stanley Acho, has been dragged to the Zone 2 Force Headquarters, Obalende, Lagos, for impregnating and sleeping with a customer of his bank, Kudirat Balogun.
According to the statement made by Kudirat, a businesswoman to the police, she applied for a loan of N2.5 million
from the bank.
She met Acho, the bank’s Managing Director, in the process of negotiating for the loan
Acho got her number from the form she filled and before long, started calling her on the phone and pleaded with her to date him
Kudirat, a single mother, was reported to have fallen
for the banker’s charm, and they started dating, exactly a month after she visited the bank.
Their affair was said to have assumed a more serious
dimension after Acho, reportedly, encouraged Kudirat to get pregnant for him,
because his wife had not been able to give him a male child. He was said to have promised to marry Kudirat as well.
However, the affair took a downward turn when Kudirat
got pregnant and Acho advised her to get rid of the baby. He told his
mistress that his wife had threatened to
kill him should he venture to take a second wife.
Shocked by the 360-degree change in her lover, Kudirat
was said to have refused to abort the pregnancy. This turned out to be a
source of battle between the lovers.
Consequently, constant beating and humiliation became the
order of the day in Kudirat's life.
It was gathered that the situation assumed an uglier
dimension when Acho, while beating and kicking her on one occasion, boasted that he would get rid of her the way he got rid of his previous lovers.
Aside from the regular beating and threats, Kudirat
alleged that her lover forced her to
collect another loan of N5million from
his bank. He was said to have promised to pay back the money with interest.
Although Acho later paid the interest, but decided not to pay the money, citing Kudirat's refusal to comply with
his instruction as the reason for his decision.
Acho was reported to have frustrated Kudirat's loan facilities arrangement with
other financial houses, and also allegedly threatened to eliminate her if she
failed to abort the baby.
Kudirat said she got scared and decided to involve the
police when she travelled out to London and on her return discovered that Stanley packed all the things he bought for her and left a message behind, ‘it starts from here, you better be
reasonable’.
The case is presently being handled by the AIG in charge
of Zone 2 Force Headquarters, Obalende.
Kudirat, who claimed to be three months pregnant for
Stanley, disclosed that she once had an abortion for him. She claimed that her
doctor had warned her not to undergo another abortion because of her health.
She claimed that Acho was aware of her
health status, and he even took her to
the hospital for some tests, which she did.
When Acho was
contacted on phone, he admitted knowing Kudirat, but claimed she was the one
who raped him.
Acho insisted that
Kudirat overpowered him several times and raped him mercilessly with brute force
He declined to give further explanation, citing Police investigation as his reason
In her own defence, Kudirat queried the plausibility of
Acho's claim. "How would I rape a man who came all the way from his home
in Ajah to my house in Lekki?
Do I look like
someone who has the strength to overpower and rape someone like Stanley?’, she
asked.
Kudirat disclosed that she had lodged a complaint with the Public Defence Agency, and that
all she wants from Acho is to guarantee her safety, the welfare of
her unborn child and the stalling of all sorts of embarrassment as a result
of the loan from Acho's managers.
