A 55-year-old man, identified as Osaro, has been arrested by men of
the Edo State Police Command for allegedly defiling his nine-year-old
daughter.
Osaro, according to his wife, Stella, had earlier impregnated their
17-year-old daughter, just as she told newsmen at the Ogida Police
Division, Benin, that she recently returned to her husband's house
after he said he had repented.
She said: "My husband wanted to sleep with my second daughter. He
later succeeded in sleeping with my other daughter. After impregnating
the girl, he begged me several times to forgive him.
"He started the church I attended and confessed what he had done. The
church members begged me and I accepted him. He has already paid my
bride price so I went back.
"After we had settled, my husband started with our daughter again. The
little girl told me what she was going through in the hands of her
father. I asked my husband, but he denied. He said he had stopped the
act since he repented.
"One afternoon, I caught him with our daughter. I went to the church
and vowed that I cannot continue with the marriage. I am tired of
forgiving him all the time.
"On Christmas Day, he drove me outside at about 8 p.m. He was alone
inside with the children. The next day, my daughter told me what he
did to her. When I decided to check my daughter's private part, he
wanted to beat me, but neighbours intervened."
The victim asked police to jail her father.
