A 36-year-old father, Peter Kennedy, has been detained by police for impregnating his 16-year-old daughter and aborting the pregnancy.
Peter was also detained with his wife, step-mother to the victim, who revealed that her husband said he wanted to test his ability.
Vanguard gathered that the man, who had been detained at Anthony Division, had allegedly been sleeping with his daughter since 2013.
Peter, a resident of 5 Kode Street, Mende, Maryland axis, was reported to the police by a neighbour after the father allegedly had sexual intercourse with his daughter again on Friday, July 8.
It was learned that the victim had been taken to MIRABEL Centre at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Ikeja, for test, even as the case was said to have be transferred to Gender Desk of the Commissioner of Police’s office, for further investigation.
The Co-ordinator of the Domestic Sexual Violence Response Team, DSVRT, Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, said the case was reported to the team on Tuesday, forcing government to attach social workers from Ministry of Youth and Social Development to follow up on the case.
Vivour-Adeniyi stated that they reported the case to the police, who invited the parties involved: the victim, her father, her step-mother and the neighbour who reported the case. She said: “After the parties involved had written statements, the victim’s step-mother, on discovering the gravity of the offence, confessed her involvement in the abortion. She said that she knew about it, but only warned her husband not to be caught doing it again.”
She added that the step-mother disclosed that Peter said “he was trying to test his ability.”
Vivour-Adeniyi disclosed that the victim had been kept in government’s custody for protection.
