By our reporter| The Lagos state police command on Sunday said it has arrested a 50-year-old man Ede Tyndale, for allegedly raping his 19-year-old daughter repeatedly.
Bala Elkana, Lagos police command spokesman who made the disclosure in a statement, said Tyndale was arrested following a complaint against him by his wife.
According to Elkana, the mother of the victim told the police that her husband started having sexual intercourse with their daughter when she was 11.
The husband, she said, instilled so much fear in her that she was afraid to tell anyone about her daughters ordeal.
Elkanah said, “Trouble started when the woman noticed some strange behaviours from her daughter and decided to find out why the sudden disrespect towards her father.”
“The survivor opened up to her mother that her father started having sexual intercourse with her when she was 11-years-old. That he often threatened violence whenever she resist(ed) him.
“The father instilled so much fear in her that she finds it difficult to report to anybody.”
“After a thorough investigation into the case, the suspect was on 11/5/2020, charged before Chief Magistrate Court ll Ogba on five count charges of incest, rape, sexual harassment, defilement and sexual assault.”
