17-Year-Old Girl Tells Police How Her Father Has Been Sleeping With Her Over 7 Years In Ondo

A 17-year-old girl has told investigators from the Ondo state police command that her 45-year-old father has been sleeping with her for more than seven years.

The suspect was apprehended and detained by police in Ondo, the headquarters of Ondo West Local Government Area after his daughter told family members that he had sex with her on a regular basis.

The young girl disclosed how her father has been sleeping with her and assaulted her for seven years after her mother moved out of her father’s residence owing to irreconcilable differences.

She said:

“My father is a secondary school teacher. He has been sleeping with me since 2014 when I was 10 years old till July, last month. My mother is no longer staying with us because of her health issues and my father married another wife. My father’s wife preaches to me about keeping myself from men until I am married, not knowing that my father has been sleeping with me.

I could no longer bear it and there was nobody I could tell this to because he always threatened to kill me if I exposed his action. This made me run away from the house till I was invited by the police to come to the station.”

In his defence, the accused father claimed that the victim’s mother forced her to make the false accusation against him.

“It was her mother that cooked up the story against me just to tarnish my image in the society because she is no longer staying with me as my wife. I never slept with my daughter,” he said

Funmi Odunlami, the state police command’s spokesperson, confirmed the event and stated an inquiry had begun.
