A 46-year-old man,
Morris Ndidwe, has allegedly raped his 11-year-old daughter and impregnated a
neighbour’s daughter in Delta State.
The man has been
arrested by the Delta State Police Command.
Ndidwe, according to
his wife, had made several attempts of having carnal knowledge of his
11-year-old daughter in the past before the last one that landed him in police
net.
His wife claimed that
her husband’s behaviour had made her quit the marriage initially and that she
only returned after several appeals and an assurance that he had repented from
his ways.
She said she had
initially moved out of her matrimonal home after her husband impregnated their
neighbour’s daughter.
She said, “My daughter
told me what she went through in the hand of her father whenever I was not
around and when confronted, my husband denied, saying, he had stopped the act .
“One afternoon, I
returned from church and caught him with our daughter. Again after much
pleading, I relented on my resolve to quit the marriage.”
The last straw that
broke the camel’s back, according to the wife, was the event that transpired
last week.
Ndidwe’s wife said,
“Last week, around 9pm, my husband drove me to the church for a vigil. He was
alone with our children. The following day when I returned, my daughter told me
what her father did to her. When I decided to check her private part my husband
refused and almost beat me, but my neighbours intervened.”
But the 11-year-old
girl (names withheld) has asked the police to prosecute her father saying she
wanted to see him jailed because he might do worse things to her.
Confirming the arrest
of the suspect, the state police commissioner, Alkali Baba Usma, said he had
made useful statements to the police.
