The Lagos state police command has arrested Saheed Wahab, a commercial driver, for allegedly stabing his in-law, Yisa Aweda in Orile area of the state.
It was gathered that Wahab stabbed 40-year-old Aweda in the neck with a broken bottle because he allegedly caught him raping his two-year-old daughter.
Aweda, who was stabbed, has also been arrested to be charged to court when he is fully recovered.
A social worker with the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Reponse Team, who pleaded anonymity, said the matter was reported at the Orile Police Division.
He said, “The incident happened on Friday, November 11. The victim’s mother found the suspect raping her daughter.
“After the girl’s mother raised the alarm, her husband stabbed Aweda.
“He injured the man in the neck. The matter was reported at the Orile Police Station. Aweda was hospitalised, while Wahab was arrested.”
According to reports, the little girl that was molested has been taken to the Mirabel center, Ikeja for check up.
Reports confirm that the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender had also been briefed on the matter and would represent the victim’s father in court.
