Sani Kaita. |
His
ordeal started when a young lady by name, Esther Emiola, petitioned the
Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in
Persons (NAPTIP) over alleged child abandonment by the former international
footballer, Sani Kaita, who according to a petition by the petitioners Lawyer, Barrister
Frank Tietie of Forthright Chamber, she alleged that Kaita got her pregnant in
2015 with a promise to marry her but abandoned her afterwards.
NAN reported that Tietie, in the petition, alleged
that Kaita, throughout the pregnancy and after birth, never asked after the
baby’s welfare nor the welfare of the mother.
According
to Section 16(1A) of the VAPP Act of 2015 which deals with cases of abandonment
of children, spouse and other dependents without means of sustenance., “A
person who abandons a wife or husband, children or other dependent without any
means of sustenance commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a term of
imprisonment not exceeding three years or to a fine not exceeding N500,000.00
or both.
The lawyers
petition reads: “We are solicitors to Esther Emiola; hereinafter referred to as
our client and on whose instructions we hereby write to request the arrest and
compulsion of Sani Kaita on grounds of abandonment, according to the provision
of Section 16 VAPP Act 2015.
“Mr
Kaita is well known international footballer with sufficient financial means of
providing for the welfare of the baby and his mother but he has willfully
chosen to abandon them for three years.
”
Presently, Kaita is in Abuja and he is again seeking the possibility of another
sexual liaison with our client and has invited her to a secret location in
Abuja.”
The petition
added that, the compulsion of the suspect by NAPTIP would force him to formally
respond to issues raised by the victim in the petition she filed before the
agency.
On the
part of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons,
NAPTIP, the agency acknowledged the receipt of the petition by one Esther Emiola,
whose petition bothered on issues of abandonment by the man she got pregnant
for.
According
to the Director of Investigation and Monitoring of the agency, Josiah Emerole, “The
petition has been forwarded to the appropriate unit of the agency for necessary
action and we as a government department empowered by law to handle cases such
as this, promise to deal with this case to find a meeting ground for the both
parties”.
At
the end of this case, our darling ex-international maybe on his way to jail,
excerpt he does what is right by taking full responsibility of all his actions,
to avoid the disaster that is coming his way.
