SHOCKING!! Man imprisoned for impregnating his daughter and forcing her to abort

A businessman in Lagos has been
arrested and charged to court after it was
alleged that he had sexual intercourse
with his teenage daughter.

49-year-old Wale Akinusi is said to have
engaged in the incestuous relationship
with his 17-year-old daughter and
subsequently gotten her pregnant.

Mr. Akinusi is also said to have procured
an abortion for his daughter after he
discovered that she was pregnant.

Adelaja ordered that Akinusi should be
kept in prison custody pending the advice
of the State Director of Public
Prosecutions. Akinusi, who resides at Ojo
Igbede Road, Ajangbadi, Lagos, is facing a
two-count charge of unlawful defilement
and killing of an unborn child.

Earlier, the prosecutor, SP Soji Ojaokomo,
had told the court that the accused
committed the offences on November 2,
2012 at their residence. Ojaokomo said
that the accused forcefully had carnal
knowledge of his daughter without her
consent and unlawfully killed her unborn
child.

He added: “When Akinusi noticed that his
daughter was pregnant, he took her to
the hospital to abort the unborn child.
“After she aborted the unborn child, the
accused started having carnal knowledge
of her again.

“The complainant decided to ask for help
when she reported the case to the police,
who immediately arrested the accused.”

The prosecutor said that the offences
contravened Sections 137 and 234 of the
Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State, 2011.
Section 137 stipulates life imprisonment
for convicted offenders, while Section 234
also prescribes life imprisonment for
unlawful killing of an unborn child.

The case was adjourned to February 20 for
mention.
