A 41-year-old man, Raymond Anyanwu, who reportedly
raped and impregnated his 15 years old daughter, said that
frustration led him into the act.
Anyanwu, who committed the offence at Ajao Estate, Isolo,
said: “I started sleeping with my 15-year-old daughter
sometime around January, after I lost my job.
“I am a transporter, but I took to alcohol after I lost my job
and could not meet up with my responsibilities as the head
of the house.”
Vanguard gathered that Raymond Anyanwu sleeps with his
daughter when his wife has gone to work.
However, trouble started after the victim’s aunty suspected
that she was pregnant. After carrying out a test at home,
they discove-red she was pregnant.
The victim, it was learned, revealed that her father was
responsible for her pregnancy, and the mother decided to
play it down as a family issue after her husband beat her
up, warning her not to disclose the incident to anyone.
Vanguard learned that Lagos State Ministry of Youth and
Social Development alerted the police and the suspect was
arrested last Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the victim’s mother had arranged for an
abortion, which had been carried out before she was
rescued and taken into protective custody by the Lagos
State government.
The case, which is currently being investigated at the
Gender Unit of Lagos State Police Command, will be
charged to Ikeja Magistrate’s Court today.
