Abubakar Magaji, 45, of Liman Kagum Bauchi Local Government Area of Bauchi state is presently in police net for raping his 11-year-old daughter severally.
The father of four was paraded by the Bauchi State command on Tuesday. Asked why he committed the heinous act, he blamed the devil and said:
“I engaged in the ugly act because I had a misunderstanding with my wife and she left me. I am ashamed of my self because it was temptation that led me to do it”.
“I divorced her mother and married another wife but unfortunately my wife also left me a month ago so I needed a woman to be with; so that was why I did it”.
“I also have a problem with my sexual libido. It is so terrible that I desire any woman I see, but what stops me from approaching them is that people respect me as a married man. So I felt the only way I could relieve my sexual tension was to sleep with my daughter, since she is so young and had no knowledge about sex”.
“It was after I defiled her and I was arrested by the police that I understood the gravity of my offence. I can’t imagine that I did this to my own daughter. I regret my actions and I pray that God will forgive me”.
