A 34 year -old man, Mohammed Ahmed has been paraded at the headquarters of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Osogbo, yesterday for allegedly having sex with his 14 year- old daughter.
It was gathered that Ahmed had been committing the crime since April, 2015, until he was apprehended by NSCDC after a tip off by Ahmed’s co-tenant.
It was also gathered that the girl (names withheld), who is in primary four in a public school and her younger sister of nine years had been living with their father in a single room apartment since their father divorced their mother.
Although, their father married another woman, who bore him two children, the wedlock did not last as the woman died two years ago. Since then, the man has been living with his two daughters.
“I don’t know what came over me since April that I have been having sex with my daughter and any time I am having sex with her, I did not see anything wrong in it. I only had sex with her six times since April 2015,” Ahmed confessed.
The Head of Public Relations and Protocol Unit of NSCDC, Mr. Wale Folarin, who confirmed the incident said: “The incident was related to us by one of the neighbours of Ahmed, who used to hear the cry of the girl every night and this prompted him to inquire from the girl about what has been happening to her.
“The little girl confessed to her father’s neighbour who, thereafter, related the case to us after he had confirmed it.”
