Lagos dad had sex with own daughter for 12 years, begs for mercy

An incestuous father broke into tears and pleaded for mercy as Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of the Ikeja Special Offences Court dispatched him to a 21-year jail on Thursday.

The court had found the 52 years old Akin Isaac guilty of raping, impregnating his daughter. Issac aborted the pregnancy, the court heard.

“In view of the guilty plea of the defendant to one count of defilement, I hereby find the defendant guilty as charged,” Taiwo said.

The judge added: “I remember the survivor clearly. She was weeping right here in the box. Abortion, pregnancy, drugs, beating and all sorts of inhuman treatment meted on her by her father?

“Do you think 21 years is good enough for him,” the judge asked the prosecutor Mrs. Omowumi Bajulaye- Bishi.

According to the prosecutor, Issac started having unlawful sexual intercourse with his 18-year-old daughter while she was six years old, which resulted in at least one pregnancy.

She also submitted that the defendant attempted to procure an abortion for her and regularly administered drugs to her to prevent pregnancy.
