I started sleeping with my daughter

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.
