JUST IN: 44-year-old man impregnates daughter in Lagos

A 44-year-old artisan, Mustapha Abiodun, is currently cooling off inside one of the cells at the State Police Command, Ikeja for impregnating his teenage daughter in Alagbado area of Lagos.

The victim (names withheld) whose parents are divorced started living with her father two years ago when she was 14 years, but her father started abusing her sexually last June.

It was gathered that the first time Mustapha sexually abused his daughter, he apologised to the victim, saying he was under the influence of alcohol and promised it was never going to happen again.

Unfortunately, the sexual relationship between the duo led to the victim’s first pregnancy in August 2021. When the victim was four months pregnant her father procured an abortion for her in a nearby hospital in Yusuf area of Alagbado.

It was learned that after successfully procuring abortion for his daughter, Mustapha continued to have carnal knowledge of his daughter till she got pregnant again.

According to one of their neighbours (names withheld), Mustapha is very protective of his daughter, he forbids her from interacting with people living in the compound. Apart from when she goes to school or when he goes to work, they were always together. We didn’t know anything was happening between them till we began to notice changes in her body.”
