Emotion ran high recently at the Bar Beach
Police Division in Lagos following
revelation by a teenage girl of how her 57-
year-old father, Mr Nwafor Ikoro, had been
forcefully having intercoursé with her in
the last three months, while giving her
N200 as pocket money to school.
Unsure of who to confide in, she said she
told her mother during one of her visits
only for the father to dismiss the claim,
stating that he could not bring himself that
low as to having cárnal knowledge of his
own biological daughter. But the bubble
later burst…
The girl [names withheld] summoned
courage and told her head teacher what
daddy used to do to her every night. It was
the head teacher who contacted the police,
leading to Mr Nwafor Ikoro's arrest.
The teenage girl, who was made to start her
education from primary five when her
mother brought her back to her father
after some years of separation, disclosed
more during interrogation.
She said: "When I was reunited with my
father, I was happy because I was living
with an aunt in the village since my parents
separated. He usually told me that I would
take the place of my mother in his life since
my mother had divorced him. I did not
know what he meant until he started
having cárnal knowledge of me at night.
"At a point, I got tired and insulted him.
Then, he started béating me and changed
his loving nature. He would béat me and
stríp me náked and have his way whenever
he wanted.
"When I attempted to scream, he would hit
me harder and cover my mouth. He later
apologized, telling me he would buy me a
car. All I want at the moment is for my
father to be punished for what he did to
me."
In his defense, her dad, Mr Nwafor Ikoro,
described his daughter's claim as mere
allegation. He said he only béat her after he
discovered she was in an ámorous
relationship with an unnamed man.
But police suspected that the father was
lying and charged him to the Igbosere
Magistrate Court. Mr Nwafor Ikoro has
been remanded in prison custody until his
application bail would be considered.
