A 41-year-old man, Raymond Anyanwu, who reportedly raped and
impregnated his 15 years old daughter, said that frustration led him into the
act. Anyanwu, who committed the offence at Ajao Estate, Isolo, said:
“I started sleeping with my
15-year-old daughter sometime around January, after I lost my job. “I am a
transporter, but I took to alcohol after I lost my job and could not meet up
with my responsibilities as the head of the house.”
Vanguard gathered that Raymond Anyanwu sleeps with his
daughter when his wife has gone to work.
However, trouble started after the victim’s aunty suspected that she was pregnant. After carrying out a test at home, they discove-red she was pregnant.

The victim, it was learned, revealed
that her father was responsible for her pregnancy, and the mother decided to
play it down as a family issue after her husband beat her up, warning her not
to disclose the incident to anyone.
Vanguard learned that
Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development alerted the police and the
suspect was arrested last Wednesday. Meanwhile, the victim’s mother had
arranged for an abortion, which had been carried out before she was rescued and
taken into protective custody by the Lagos State government.
The case, which is currently being investigated at the
Gender Unit of Lagos State Police Command, will be charged to Ikeja
Magistrate’s Court today.
