A 45-year-old man, Julius Ochim, has been arrested
by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly impregnating his own
daughter, who eventually gave birth to a baby girl.
The Command
Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said: ”The man was arrested
following a complaint by his daughter who reported at Shagamu Police
Division that her father has been having carnal knowledge of her since
she was 9, after the death of her mother in 2009.”
Oyeyemi
added that, consequently, the lady reportedly got pregnant for the
suspect and gave birth to a baby girl who is now three years old. On why
she did not report after many years, the lady reportedly told the
police that her father ”used to threaten her with cultural implication
of refusing him to sleep with her.”
He said on interrogation, the
suspect confessed to the crime but blamed it all on the devil’s
handwork. He reportedly confessed that he had been sleeping with the
young woman since the demise of his wife.
The police spokesman
added that the suspect disclosed that he started having ‘problems’ with
the victim when she started going out with ”another person whom she said
she want to get married to”.
”He confessed that the he was trying to prevent the girl from getting married so as to continue having his way with her.”
