‘I started sleeping with my daughter out of frustration’: 41-year-old father impregnates 15-year-old daughter

A 41-year-old man, Raymond Anyanwu, who reportedly raped
and impregnated his 15 years old
daughter, said that frustration led
him into the act. Anyanwu, who committed the offence at Ajao Estate, Isolo, said:


“I started sleeping with my 15-
year-old daughter sometime
around January, after I lost my
job. “I am a transporter, but I took to alcohol after I lost my job and
could not meet up with my responsibilities as the head of the
house.”

Vanguard gathered that Raymond
Anyanwu sleeps with his daughter when his wife has gone to work. However, trouble started after the
victim’s aunty suspected that she
was pregnant. After carrying out a
test at home, they discove-red she
was pregnant.

The victim, it was learned, revealed
that her father was responsible for
her pregnancy, and the mother
decided to play it down as a family
issue after her husband beat her
up, warning her not to disclose the incident to anyone.

Vanguard learned that Lagos State
Ministry of Youth and Social
Development alerted the police
and the suspect was arrested last
Wednesday. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother had arranged for an abortion, which had been carried out before she was rescued and taken into protective custody by the Lagos State government.

The case, which is currently being
investigated at the Gender Unit of
Lagos State Police Command, will
be charged to Ikeja Magistrate’s
Court today.
