Security guard arrested for raping daughter
A 47-year-old security guard has been arrested for having carnal knowledge of his 18-year-old daughter.
Spokesperson for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Kwara, Babawale Afolabi, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
“On December 7, NSCDC got information about the incident from one Alhaja Mariam Bello, that the suspect raped his daughter, who is also the complainant’s adopted daughter.
“The complainant said that the victim used to live with her at Isale Gaa-Akanbi Area, Ilorin, but moved out to stay with her father after they had a little misunderstanding.
“The Alhaja Bello adopted the victim in 2017 when her mother separated from her father. They were living happily together until they had a misunderstanding between them.
“The victim joined her father at his place of work, where he was working as a security guard. The incident happened the first night she stayed with him,” the statement added.
The victim in a statement narrated how she begged her father not to rape her, but all her efforts were in vain.
According to the statement, the victim said her father gave her N1,000 after raping her to buy some drugs that will flush her body system to prevent pregnancy.
It claimed that the suspect, a father of four who hailed from Edo, had blamed the devil for the incident.
The NSCDC said that the suspect would be charged to court after completion of the investigation.
