42 year old family man Rasak Ishola stands accused of raping his neighbours daughter, impregnating her and having her carry out several abortions.
The father of the 16 year old girl, a lawyer, discovered the atrocity after his teenage daughter developed complications from the latest abortion.
Ogun State-born Ishola was arrested and detained at Igando Police Division where he was charged to Ejigbo Magistrate’s court with the alleged offences under the Criminal Code.
Ishola, who is married and has children, allegedly admitted that the teenage girl was his girlfriend and that he had been sleeping with her without his wife’s knowledge.
“I knew her six months ago and since she was living in the same area with me, we were meeting secretly until she became pregnant,” he narrated.
He denied the rape charge against him and claimed she is above 18 years old and had just gained admission into Delta State University as a first year student.
Ishola said when she became pregnant, her father, who is a legal practioner, started making trouble with him, and his efforts to settle the matter with the lawyer failed because he said he could not meet his conditions.
Asked what could have led him into all that, he said it was temptation and not that he actually raped her.
Ishola said he kept the affairs away from his wife and because of the incident his wife has now known what she was not supposed know and hear.
