A 13 -year -old girl who is pregnant for her father in Edo State, has confessed that he started sleeping with her at the age of seven.
The State commissioner of police, Mr. Johnson Babatunde Kokumo, yesterday, paraded the suspect, Moses, who allegedly impregnated his daughter.
Narrating her ordeal in the hands of her father, the rape victim (names withheld) said her father started sleeping with her when she was seven and he threatened to kill her if she revealed what transpired between them.
The victim, who was five months and one week old pregnant, is now in the custody of the Edo State government. It was gathered that Moses was driven from Ologbo in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of the state by the youths of the community because of his illicit act with his daughter and he resettled in Okha in the same LGA, where he continued with his abominable act with his daughter.
Moses, who is now in police custody, denied having carnal knowledge of his daughter. According to him, “she told the police that I am responsible for her pregnancy and I told them (police) that I am not but they did not believe me.
They started beating me and because of that, I admitted that I did it. You people should take whatever my daughter says.”
A family source said Moses and his daughter have been ostracised because of the abominable act.
