49 year old Anthony Ehumadu who raped his 15 year old daughter at their
Oko-Oba home in Abule-Egba area of Lagos State, says he committed the
abominable act under the influence of forces beyond him.
Anthony, who
aped his daughter who is in JSS 1 twice, said the first time he
committed the crime, he was drunk but the second time, he acted by some
powers beyond his control.
While being paraded before newsmen at the Lagos state police command, Anthony said:
"I did the abominable act with my eldest daughter. But I only raped her
twice. I don’t know what came over me.
I am convinced that forces beyond
me led me into committing the crime. Both incidents happened on
Fridays. One Friday night, one of my friends
invited me to a naming
ceremony around Power Line, New Oko-Oba. I came back home drunk but my
wife was not around. All my children, except the eldest, were asleep.
Immediately, I rushed in and raped her.
I did not meet her as a virgin.
But the second time, my wife was at home. That Friday night, we were all
watching a movie, when I suddenly stood up and went straight into my
daughter’s room and started raping her. It was at that point that my
wife caught me and started shouting. My wife did not want to go to the
police because of the embarrassment it would bring to the family and
because of her reputation as a Customs officer. But her brother did.” -
