60-year-old man, Isiaka Alade, who was recently arrested by police
for allegedly defiling his 14-year-old daughter blames the act on an
evil spirit. Hear his claims:
“I cannot remember what I did. An evil spirit
always possesses me and as soon as I am done, I will regain my senses.
Most especially, my daughter never resisted whenever I touch her. I am
terribly sorry; it is the devil. I have even attended different
deliverance services, hoping that God will save me. I am sorry but the
truth is that I am possessed. No normal father will do such a thing to
his daughter. My mistake was allowing her to live with me when I knew
that I do not have a wife or woman friend.”
He was picked up by operatives of Lagos State Criminal Investigation
Department, Panti when a good Samaritan, who saw him in the act, alerted
the police.
The abused teenager in her statement to the police revealed that it was her father who deflowered her sometime in 2013.
She alleged that her father convinced her that there was nothing
wrong in what he was doing to her. He was accused of buying different
gifts for her as a way of wooing her to submit.
