Uchena Elumadu, a 47-year-old trader who resides in the Agege area of Lagos State is now telling the police all he knows after he allegedly constantly raped his 15-year-old daughter.
According to reports, each time Uchena forcefully violated his daughter, he would drug her so that she doesn't get pregnant.
But luck ran out for the 47-year-old father who was caught by his wife who raised an alarm but Uchena reportedly fled their home after the alarm was raised to avoid being embarrassed by his neighbours and other residents of Martins Street, New Oko Oba, Agege, where the incident occurred.
The suspect was later nabbed when he returned home suspecting the case had died down and upon his arrest, he confessed to his crime according to a police source.
“The man has three children, two girls and one boy. The victim is the first child and she is in JSS 3. He had been sleeping with her for a long time. He started sleeping with her in 2015.
“It was easy for him because his wife is a casual worker at the airport and she is most times on night duty and does not sleep at home. What he does is to sneak into the room at midnight while the other children are asleep. He will wake the girl up, rape her and give her drugs to prevent pregnancy.
“But on September 19, his wife was around. He woke up and went to the room to wake up the girl, not knowing that his wife was awake and observing everything.
“The woman caught him in the act and shouted. She reported the case directly to the Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni." The source said.
Confirming the incident, Dolapo Badmos, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, informed that the victim has been admitted at the Police College Hospital in Ikeja.
“Preliminary investigation reveals that the suspect had on different occasions raped the daughter, after which he administered drugs to her to prevent her from getting pregnant.
“The 15-year-old girl told the police that the father on countless occasions woke her up in the middle of the night to rape her mostly when the mother was on night duty.
“The mother caught the suspect having intercourse with the victim. The father admitted to raping her on three occasions, blaming the act on the devil.
The victim is currently admitted to Police College Hospital, where she is receiving treatment. This is in partnership with Mirabel Centre and the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, where medical examination will be carried out on her.” She said.
