The Police in Ogun state have arrested a 45-year-old father, who impregnated and had a baby girl by his daughter.
Reports said the suspect, Julius Ochim, was arrested after his daughter reported him at the Sagamu Police Division. She told the police that Ochim had been having sex with her for over eight years.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the arrest on Tuesday, said that the father started the evil act shortly after the death of her mother (who was his wife) in 2009.
Oyeyemi said the victim also told the police that she got pregnant for her father and gave birth to a baby girl for him three years ago.
He said: “She further revealed that her father used to threaten her with cultural implications of her refusing him sex.”
According to Oyeyemi, during interrogation, Ochim blamed the devil for his actions.
“He confessed to have been sleeping with the girl since the demise of his wife, adding that he had problem with the girl when she started going out with another man, whom she said she wanted to get married to,” the police spokesman said.
Ochim was said to have also admitted that he tried to prevent the girl from getting married so as to continue having his way with her.
