50-year-old Isiaka Alade as he was later identified, was led by a teeming crowd, right from the uncompleted building which serves as home for him and his 14 year-old daughter , Sadia, in Ayobo area of Lagos state, to the palace of the traditional ruler of the area, last Tuesday.
From the palace, he was handed over to
policemen from the State Criminal Investigation Department , SCID Panti, over
allegation that he had been sleeping with his 14 year-old daughter.
Crime Guard gathered that the scary
looking man had allegedly been sleeping with his only surviving child, for
two years. Sadia, as gathered, was about the 12th and only
surviving child of Alade. Her father was said to have married his first wife
who had several still births before she died. Sadia’s mother was Alade’s second
wife , a union that reportedly produced only Sadia, before both parted ways
over what was described as irreconcilable differences eight years ago.
Sadia, a Junior Secondary School
1 student, reportedly left her mother in the village in Osun state , at
the age of eight, to join his father in Lagos, with a view to having access to
better education.
Begging passionately to be forgiven , Alade
said: “ I did not do it out of starvation . It was the devil’s handiwork. In
fact this is a thing that has been concluded in the spiritual realm. It
was done by someone from the dark world to destroy my image. I am indeed
very sorry”, he stated in tears, with his eyes blinking repeatedly .
At the palace, Sadia was requested to state her
own side when her father denied the allegation. She simply stated that : “ My
father has been sleeping with me since. In fact, I was 12 years old when
he started the act and that was the reason why I became hardened and
disobedient to him. The last time he had his way was when I was preparing to go
to school”
