A 41 year old father Raymond Ike
Iwuanyanwu, has been arrested by Lagos State Police Command for allegedly raping and impregnating his 15-year-old
daughter, at Ajao Estate, Isolo. Raymond said that frustration led him
into the act. Also arrested was the mother of the victim, for covering up the crime and having the pregnancy aborted
Raymond said : “I started sleeping with her 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.” It was learnt that the victim had been taken into custody
by the Lagos State Government.
Raymond had also allegedly beaten his daughter and wife, warning them
not to disclose the incident to anyone. The girl’s mom, however,
informed her family members, who went to the girl’s school to confirm
the story from her.
The case was thereafter reported to the state Ministry of Youth and
Social Development, which informed the police, who arrested Raymond,
last Wednesday. The pregnancy was said to have been aborted before the
girl was rescued. The mother was arrested on Thursday for her
involvement in the alleged abortion.
The Coordinator, Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, Lagos
State, Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, said the victim was safe in government’s
custody. 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.
