Dad begs for forgiveness for defiling his two daughters

Policemen attached to Ikotun division in Lagos have arrested a man
alleged to have been having carnal knowledge of his two daughters
between the ages of 10 and13, in the past two years.
His daughters reportedly claimed to have been going throughwhat they
described as horrible experience since their mother left them for
another man.
Unable to resist their father, they endured until the elder girl
confided in her friend's mother, who then contacted some child rights
groups.
The organisations were said to have effected the man's arrestat his
29, Omooye Street, Abaranje, last Saturday and handed him over to
policemen at Ikotun division.
Explaining, the elder child (names withheld) said: "Our father started
it when I was 11 years old. I did not know he was doing same to my
sister who was then eight years.
I only got to know when I saw her blood stained undies and when I
demanded to know whether she had started seeing hermonthly flow, she
revealed that our father slept with her the previous night. He usually
crept to either of us at night whenever he wanted to satisfy his
urge. He was the one whodis-virgined us."
I beg to be forgiven—Suspect
On his part, the 35-year-old suspect , a commercial bus driver
identified as Adewale Adeleke, admitted to the police that he
committed the sacrilegious act. He claimed, however, that he did not
know what usually comes over him at that point.
Hear him: "I beg to be forgiven. This is the handiwork of the devil
because I do not know what usually comes over me. What usually
happened was that the urge would just come and before I know it, I
would be with either of them."
When news of the act reached the mother of the children whoresides in
Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, she reportedly rushed to Lagos, where
she was quoted as saying that she was shocked beyond words.
She reportedly said she was forced to leave her husband because of
alleged battering, in spite of the fact that she was the one
responsible for the upkeep of the home. She said while leaving, she
handed her two children to her mother withthe intention of sending
them monthly allowance, only for their father to go and take them.
Executive Director of Esther Child Rights Foundation, Mrs. Esther
Ogwu, said her foundation was making effort to ensure that the woman
would take custody of her children, adding also that the arrest of the
suspect was a first step to ensure that justice was done.
The two girls are now under police protection while their father will
be arraigned at the Ejigbo Magistrate's Court by the police.
When contacted, Lagos State Police Command, Public Relations Officer,
PPRO, Ngozi Braide confirmed the arrest of the suspect, saying that he
would be arraigned in court soon.
