A 55-year old security guard, Arowolo Ayodeji, has yesterday confessed that he had carnal knowledge of his 19 years old daughter twice.
Yet he blamed the devil for the act.
Ayodeji told newsmen at the command headquarters of the Kwara State Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ilorin.
The man said that the marriage between him and the girl’s mother crashed when the girl was two years old.
When pressed further to speak, Ayodeji said the devil lured him to commit the crime.
“I have carnal knowledge of my daughter just twice. But I did not intentionally do it,” he said.
Meanwhile, parading the suspects, NSCDC spokesperson Olasunkanmi Ayeni said that “Arowolo Ayodeji’s report was brought to the notice of the command through the Kwara Sstate Ministry of Social Welfare. The ministry and the command’s Gender Unit are collaborating together.
“It was a good Samaritan that reported the case to the Ministry of Social Welfare before the case was brought here and the suspect was apprehended at Ijero-Ekiti.
“The man was said to have been molesting the girl while she was seven years old. It means that the crime had been one for two years running,” Mr. Ayeni said.
