Man Stabs In-Law In The Neck For Raping His 2-Year-Old Daughter

The Lagos State Police spokesperson, SP Dolapo Badmos has confirmed the arrest of a commercial driver, Saheed Wahab, for allegedly stabbing his in-law, Yisa Aweda, in the Orile area of the state.

Punch Metro gathered that Wahab stabbed 40-year-old Aweda in the neck with a broken bottle because he reportedly caught him raping his two-year-old daughter. A social worker with the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Reponse Team, who did not want his name in print, said the matter was reported at the Orile Police Division.

“The incident happened on Friday, November 11. The victim’s mother found the suspect raping her daughter. After the girl’s mother raised the alarm, her husband stabbed Awed, injuring him in the neck. The matter was reported at the Orile Police Station. Aweda was hospitalized, while Wahab was arrested.” He confirmed.

The DSVRT Coordinator, Lola Vivour-Adeniyi, said this while speaking to correspondents:

“The matter was reported to the Lagos State DSVRT on November 15 and we visited the Orile Police Station. We also visited the hospital where Aweda is receiving treatment. The office dealing with the case of defilement is different from the case of injury. Although, some of the family members wanted the case treated as a family matter, they were informed that the state would prosecute the suspected rapist.” Mrs Lola said.

She also informed that when the rapist would be discharged he would be handed over to the police to face trial.
