Man arrested for impregnating 16- year-old daughter

According to the police, Michael was arrested after his
neighbour Uche whose child was molested reported the
case. She 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 that they discovered Maria was
pregnant. After much interrogation the little 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 appropriate authority. Ijeoma and
Michael were 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.
His neighbor revealed that: “Michael ‘fingered’ (molested) a
neighbor’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
