A 49-year-old father has been arrested by men of the Nigerian Police Force for raping his 15-year-old girl in their Oko-Oba home in Abule-Egba area of Lagos State.

The suspect, Tony Ehumadu, who hails from Mbaise area of Imo State, was caught in the act by his wife, a Customs officer. 

He was arrested after one of his brother-in-law reported the case to the police.

He admitted to have slept with his Junior Secondary School 1 daughter twice, adding that the first instance was under the influence of alcohol.

According to Vanguard Newspaper, he was quoted as saying, “I did the abominable act with my eldest daughter. But I only raped her twice. I don’t know what came over me. I am convinced that forces beyond me led me into committing the crime.

“My wife did not want to go to the police because of the embarrassment it would bring to the family and because of her reputation as a Customs officer. But her brother did.”

The suspect, according to the Lagos State Police Command boss, Fatai Owoseni, would be charged to court.
