Lustful father pleads guilty to raping 18- year-old daughter

 A 45-year old carpenter, Olumide
Akinleye, who allegedly cohabited with and
raped his own daughter, is to remain behind
bars pending judgment, an Iyaganku Chief
Magistrates’ Court ordered in Ibadan on
Friday.
Chief Magistrate Modina Akanni, who gave
the ruling, said Akinleye should be kept in
police custody until when hearing would
begin.
The lustful father had admitted committing the
offence.
Akinleye, who lives in Odo-Ona Elewe in
Ibadan, is facing a charge of having unlawful
carnal knowledge of his biological daughter.
Earlier, Police Prosecutor Sunday Fatola told
the court that Akinleye had a carnal
knowledge of his 18-year-old daughter in
their apartment.
“Akinleye, who is cohabiting with his
daughter in his one-room apartment, raped her
several times between September and
December 2017.”
He said the girl had confessed during
investigation that she confided in her father’s
friend about the several sex bouts against her
will.
The offence contravened Section 214 of the
Criminal Code, Laws of Oyo State 2000.
The case has been adjourned until Jan. 25 for
facts and sentence. (NAN)
