A 48-year-old Adeboye Waheed is currently cooling his heels in the
police net at Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos State for defiling his daughter
twice.
The incestuous act occurred on Adama Araro Street, Ikorodu area of Lagos.
The victim, 14 said she had to flee home when she could no longer cope with the constant sexual harassment from her father.
Narrating her sad story at a near-by Church where she fled to, the
SS1 student of Araromi Isoju Grammar School in Ikorodu, said: “My father
started checking my private part, to check if I have started
mensuration in 2014. On a particular day in November of the same year, I
was sleeping on the floor of our one room apartment in the night, he
removed my rapper. My step mother was not around that day.
“He
used his fingers to touch my private part and asked if I was
menstruating. He also asked me if anybody had ever had sex with me, I
said no. He said he would use his man-hood to test me to confirm the
truth. That was how he forced his ‘manhood’ on me and covered my mouth
not to shout.
“From that time, I started bleeding till morning when I became weak and he did nothing. He warned me not to let anybody know”.
The
victim said her father repeated the act on March 5 this year. “I was
browsing with someone’s phone in the house when he asked me to remove my
clothes. He put on condom and had sex with me.
“I felt very bad inside me but I could do nothing.
“The next day, I packed my belongings and ran away from the house to a near-by church.
“I really felt humiliated. Before I left, I threw away all the condoms
he bought and dropped a note that he should not look for me.
“At the church, I narrated what happened to me to them and they took the matter to the police”, she narrated.
Though the accused, earlier denied the allegation, he later on, begged for forgiveness.
He claimed that he was under the influence of a strange spirit, hence, did not know what he was doing.
“Please
police, journalists forgive me; I don’t know what came over me. I have
been beaten thoroughly by Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) boys; that is
why my eyes are swollen”, he pleaded.
Confirming the sad incident, the PPRO, Olorunfemi Shem, said from all investigations, the accused is as guilty as charged.
He said: “Our investigation and medical report from a government hospital proved that the girl was defiled by her father”.
