The Lagos State Police Command on Monday arrested
one Taiwo Oyelabi for allegedly committing
incest with one of his twin daughters, Nibila, and in the
process, put her in the family way.
The 50-year-old suspect was said to have been
reported at Igando Police Division through information given by concerned
neighbours in his community, who had earlier noticed the unlikely relationship
with his daughter.
The state Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal,
who paraded the suspect yesterday, said after preliminary investigation by
Igando Police, the matter was called up by the Gender Section of the state
command for a more in-depth investigation.
The suspect was said to have divorced his wife when
Nibila and her twin sister, Kehinde, were still in their infancy.
As a result, the twins were taken to the suspect's
younger sister in Warri, Delta State, who raised them from infancy until last
year November, when the suspect requested for Nibila to be brought to Lagos.
Edgal said: "However, sometime in November
2017, the suspect took the now grown Nibila from his sister and brought her
home to live with him in his house at Iyaba-oba.
"Since then, the suspect had been having
inappropriate sexual relationship with his daughter, and the result of the
unholy liaison between father and daughter, resulted in pregnancy.
"Investigation into the case revealed that the
suspect is a security man but the strange part of his work was that whenever he
was going to work, he goes with his daughter.
"This strange behavior attracted the attention
of the community and they reported to the police. Meanwhile, the suspect would
be processed to the special sexual offences court in Ikeja."
In his confession, the suspect blamed the devil for
his act, adding that it was his daughter that first approached him for the
sexual liaison.
He alleged that "initially, I rejected her
advances and I had to take her to a white garment church for deliverance but
she continued her advances. She will lie on me and kiss me.
"I finally gave in and we did it five times
but then she took in. When I discovered she was pregnant, I tried to kill
myself three times but people stopped me.
"The first time I tried to drink ‘Snipper’
insecticide but a neighbour stopped me. I later jumped into a well but I was
rescued alive by some Hausa workers who came to fetch water from the well.
"Meanwhile, when she got pregnant, I asked her
if I was responsible but she said no, that it belongs to her boyfriend, Azeez.
It was the police that told me that I was responsible."
