The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 47-year-old trader, Uchena Elumadu, for allegedly raping his 15-year-old daughter in the Agege area of the state.
SUNDAY PUNCH learnt that each time the Imo State indigene slept with the victim, he would drug her to prevent her from being pregnant.
He was, however, caught by his wife, who raised the alarm which drew the attention of neighbours and residents of Martins Street, New Oko Oba, Agege, where the incident happened.
The suspect, upon his arrest, allegedly admitted to sleeping with his daughter three times.
A police source said immediately the incest was discovered by the girl’s mother on Monday, September 19, the suspect fled the house.
He said, “The man has three children, two girls and one boy. The victim is the first child and she is in JSS 3. He had been sleeping with her for a long time. He started sleeping with her in 2015.
“It was easy for him because his wife is a casual worker at the airport and she is most times on night duty and does not sleep at home. What he does is to sneak into the room at midnight while the other children are asleep. He will wake the girl up, rape her and give her drugs to prevent pregnancy.
“But on September 19, his wife was around. He woke up and went to the room to wake up the girl, not knowing that his wife was awake and observing everything.
“The woman caught him in the act and shouted. She reported the case directly to the Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni.”
