Shocking! Man Rapes And Impregnates His 15-Year-Old-Daughter. Gives Reasons

A 41-year-old man, identified as Raymond Anyanwu, has been arrested for allegedly raping and impregnating his 15-year-old daughter, reports Vanguard.

The man told Vanguard reporters that it was after he lost his job that he started sexually abusing his daughter at their home in Ajao Estate, Isolo, Lagos. He waited for his wife to leave for work every morning before engaging in the dastardly act.

He said, “I started sleeping with my 15-year-old daughter 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.”

The abuse was discovered by the victim’s aunt who carried out a pregnancy test at home when she suspected that the girl was pregnant. The victim, thereafter, revealed that her father was responsible for her pregnancy. The victim’s mother, who was coerced by her husband not to report the case, arranged for an abortion. Sadly, it was carried out before the Lagos State government could rescue the young girl and take her into protective custody.

According to Vanguard, the Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development alerted the police and the suspect was apprehended. The case is currently being investigated at the Gender Unit of Lagos State Police Command and Anyanwu has been charged to Ikeja’s Magistrate court.
