A 65- year-old man (names withheld) in Kalabari Beach
in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State, weekend, narrowly escaped lynching
by angry youths for impregnating his 17-year-old daughter.
According to reports, the alleged randy father hails from
Ibiasegbe in Oru West Local Government Area of Imo State but resides in
Kalabari Beach where he taps rubber.
The randy father, who claims to be an elder in a Pentecostal
church, has 11 children from his two late wives and expecting another one from
his fourth daughter.
The five-month-old pregnant girl is the man’s first daughter
from his second late wife.
Meanwhile, when the youths of the area confirmed that the
father is allegedly responsible for the daughter’s pregnancy, they besieged his
residence, dragged him out and beat him up.
The youths had already descended on him before a passer-by,
who is a lawyer, intervened and told them not to take the laws into their
hands.
In an interview, the suspect claimed that the illicit act
started five months ago when he forcefully had carnal knowledge of his daughter
and in the process defiled her.
The 65-year-old claimed he slept with the daughter six times
until the sex escapade was exposed by the pregnancy.
He, however, said he was ready to appease the land and prayed
for forgiveness from all, claiming that it was the handiwork of the devil.
While narrating her ordeal, the pregnant daughter alleged
that her father came to her room one night and forced himself on top of her
after removing her clothes.
The 17-year-old girl, who is a junior student of St Michael’s
Secondary School, Orsu-Obodo, said her father threatened to deal with her if
she reported the incident to anybody.
Reports also said the man had already made arrangement to
sell the baby immediately her daughter puts to bed, an intention the girl
opposed.
The pregnant girl
claimed that she reported to her father immediately she stopped
observing her monthly flow, adding that the father didn’t say anything.
