CALABAR—A 45 year old man
(names withheld) from Idundu
in Akpabuyo Local Government
Area of Cross River State has
been arrested by the state Police
Command, for allegedly raping
his 17-year-old daughter and
putting her in a family way.
A police officer, who simply
identified himself as Sergeant
Eni, said the randy man was
arrested at Idundu axis of
Akpabuyo council, while
attempting to escape.
But the suspect, denied being
responsible for the pregnancy,
claiming that he never had
unprotected sex with the 17-
year-old daughter.
He said: “Any time I want to
sleep with her, I must use
condom so that she will not get
pregnant.”
He admitted that the girl was his
biological daughter but said,
“man no be wood. How can my
wife go to market to buy goods
that she is selling, and stay there
for two or three weeks.”
He, however, blamed his
inglorious act on his wife, who
he claimed was always travelling
and staying away for weeks,
starving him of sex.
Narrating her ordeal, the victim
said trouble started some
months ago, when the father
approached her at night and
pleaded with her to sleep with
him. She said she resisted but
her father became forceful,
manhandled her and threatened
to kill her, if she did not give in.
