52-year-old civil servant rapes 15-year-old daughter for 3 years
It’s still a mystery how people who slept with their siblings feel afterwards.
Having a sexual relationship with a close member of the family is against the law, but some people find themselves falling into them anyway
A 52-year-old retired civil servant, Paul Akpederi, is cooling his heels in a Lagos police cell after eating the forbidden fruit.
The Delta State indigene, who lives on Adegbite Street, Ori-Okuta, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State, was alleged to have raped his 15-year-old daughter, Rose, for over three years.
Paul started sexually abusing Rose when she was in Junior Secondary School Three.
When the secret got to the knowledge of a teacher, Paul allegedly changed her school.
The suspect was said to have continued the abuse until she got to Senior Secondary School Two in her new school.
Rose’s former teacher was said to have run into her sometime in October 2017 and told a friend about Rose’s plight, who then alerted the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender through the agency’s social media platform.
The man had been defiling his daughter since the wife left him. She is their only daughter and when the marriage broke down, he took custody of her.
The case will be transferred to the Gender Unit of the state police command for further investigation before the case will be charged to court. For now, police are working with the girl’s confessional statement.
