‘Devil behind my having sex with my two daughters’ – father
A man facing charges of having incestuous relationship with two of his daughters has blamed his vile act on the ‘devil’.
The man, Shola Jolaosho, 58, is said to have been sleeping with his daughters, aged 9 and 13 years two years before the lid blew off his misdeed.
He is currently standing trial before an Ogba magistrates’ court, in Lagos.
During proceedings, Police Prosecutor Lucky Ihiehie urged the magistrate Mrs O. A. Layinka to sentence the defendants to prison.
“My lord, since the accused has admitted that it was the handiwork of the devil that led him into the act, it means that he has been working for the devil on part time basis.
“Send him to jail so that his work with the devil becomes full time employment,” the Ihiehie said.
Ihiehie said the accused threatened to deal with his daughters, if they told anyone of the incestuous affairs. However, Jolaosho’s older child muster the courage to spill the bean when she could no longer tolerate the pain.
He added Jolaosho initially denied the accusation until he was made to face his 13-year-old daughter.
Ihiehie implored the court not to take the accused’s plea but, instead, refer the case to the office of the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) for advice.
The accused was remanded in prison.
