‘My Daughter Raped Me,’ 50-year Old Man Says After He Was Arrested For Defiling His Daughter

Detectives attached to the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a 50-year old man, Taiwo Oyelabi for allegedly having sex with his daughter and impregnating her. Oyelabi, however, stunned policemen when he vehemently insisted that his 21-year-old daughter seduced and later raped him.

He said that the girl was always demanding sex from him because she was possessed by an evil spirit. Oyelabi said: “One day, I was sitting in our apartment, when she came and suddenly grabbed and started kissing me and then she raped me. I stood up and beat her. I took her to a white garment church where I was told that she was possessed. I have had intercourse with her for about five times before I discovered she was three months pregnant.

This is the work of the devil because I don’t know what to do with the baby. “Her mother and I separated when she and her twin sister were just twoyears- old. My sister, who is in Abidjan, came to take her to live with her. It was at Abidjan she learnt a trade.” He said that after spending about two years in Abidjan, “my sister returned her to Nigeria. My sister said that my daughter didn’t know how to calculate money. Since then, we have been living together in my one room apartment.
