Man arrested for allegedly impregnating 16 years old daughter

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a
36-year-old man, Kennedy Michael, for
impregnating his 16-year-old daughter and
persuading her to have an abortion, while also
molesting his neighbour’s 18-month-old baby girl.
According to the police, Michael was arrested
after his neighbour, Uche, whose child was
molested, reported the case. He disclosed that
“Michael’s girlfriend, Ijeoma Ndukwe, assisted in
procuring abortion for his teenage daughter,
Maria.”
Uche added that when she discovered that
something was wrong with Maria, she told her
father, who instructed that his lover should take
her to the hospital. It was there they discovered
Maria was pregnant. After much interrogation,
the girl confessed that her father was
responsible for her pregnancy.
Ijeoma got angry and immediately confronted
Michael, who confessed to her. They both
agreed to abort the pregnancy. One of their
neighbours learnt about the abortion and alerted
the police. Ijeoma and Michael were immediately
arrested.
After his arrest, Michael confessed that he has
been sexually molesting his daughter since 2014,
when she was about 14 years old. However,
Michael and Maria’s mother separated a long
time ago and he brought his daughter to Lagos
to live with him.
Michael was also alleged to have
‘fingered’ (molested) a neighbour’s 18-month-old
baby. The child’s father, Uche, said: “My wife
wanted to bathe our child and discovered she
had a tear inside her private part. Before then, it
was only Michael that was with the baby inside
his room.
“Upon confirmation from Mende Health Centre
that our daughter had been violated, I contacted
my lawyer. I also informed the police, so that he
could be prosecuted. But the police swept the
matter under the carpet.”
Uche added that when he heard from Maria’s
friends that her father impregnated her and
procured abortion for her, he didn’t want Michael
to escape justice again.by chibaby naija1
