The police in Edo State have arrested a 55-year-old man for raping his nine-year-old daughter.
The randy father, identified simply as Osaro had also previously impregnated his 17-year-old daughter, according to his wife, Stella.
“My husband wanted to sleep with my second daughter. He later succeeded in sleeping with my other daughter. After impregnating the girl, he begged me several times to forgive him,” Stella said.
“He started the church I attended and confessed what he had done.
The church members begged me and I accepted him. He has already paid my bride price so I went back. After we had settled, my husband started with our daughter again.
The little girl told me what she was going through in the hands of her father. I asked my husband, but he denied. He said he had stopped the act since he repented.”
“One afternoon, I caught him with our daughter. I went to the church and vowed that I cannot continue with the marriage.
I am tired of forgiving him all the time. On Christmas Day, he drove me outside at about 8 p.m. He was alone inside with the children. The next day, my daughter told me what he did to her.
When I decided to check my daughter’s private part, he wanted to beat me, but neighbours intervened,” she added.
The nine-year-old victim meanwhile pleaded with the police to imprison her father for his wicked act.
