57 year-old Man arrested for sleeping with daughter

A 57-year-old man has been arrested by operatives of the Bar Beach Police Station on Victoria Island, Lagos for allegedly sleeping with his daughter.

The girl, a Primary 5 pupil, broke down on Monday as she told the story of how her, father had been sleeping with her with a warning not to tell anybody.

She said her mother just brought her back to her father after many years of separation, adding that since the incestuous act began, her father had been giving her N200 daily as compensation.
The girl said because she could no longer continue the act with her father, she confided in her mother during one of her visits. She said her mother dismissed her claim.

“My mother said my father could not bring himself that low as having carnal knowledge of his biological daughter,” she explained.

The bubble, burst after she told her head-teacher, who subsequently invited the police to investigate the matter.

She said: “When I was reunited with my father, I was happy because I had been living with an aunt in the village since my parents separated. He usually told me that I would take the place of my mother in his life since my mother had divorced him. I did not know what he meant until he started having carnal knowledge of me at night.

“At a point, I got tired and insulted him. Then, he started beating me and changed to me. He would beat me, strip me naked and have his way whenever he wanted. When I attempted to scream, he would hit me harder and cover my mouth. He later apologised and told me he would buy me a car. All I want at the moment is for my father to be punished for what he has done to me.”

The suspect dismissed the allegation, saying he only beat his daughter when he discovered that she was into a clandestine relationship with an unnamed man.

Police sources said he was charged to the Igbosere Magistrate’s Court, where he was ordered remanded in prison custody until his bail application would be considered.
