A 48-year-old man, Micheal Ogbar, was arrested and appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court for allegedly raping his three daughters.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Tajudeen Elias, refused to hear his plea and remanded him in kirikiri prisons. Elias said the court had no jurisdiction over the case and therefore transferred the matter to Apapa Magistrates’ Court.
The accused, who lives at Oke-Ogba St., Badagry, a suburb of Lagos, is facing a two-count charge of defilement and also rapping.
The Prosecutor, Sgt. Rafael Donny, told the court that the offences were committed between January and May at the accused’s residence.
Donny said that the accused raped his two daughters and defiled the third daughter.
“The accused sexually abused his 24, 20 and 10 year-old daughters,” he said.
The offences contravened sections 137 and 259 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Recently, 34-year-old Arnold Perry, bagged a 27 years jail sentence after found guilty of charges of rape and sexual battery charges. The Ohio man reportedly raped and impregnated 14-year-old twins and their 12-year-old sister, after their Mom allowed him to move in when he had nowhere to live.
The Vindicator reported that the girls were raped and impregnated in 2015 and 2016, and while one of the twins had an abortion, her sisters had babies because their pregnancies were discovered too late to end them.
