Fifty-one-year-old Godwin Akpan has been arrested by the police in Lagos for allegedly defiling his six-year-old daughter (names withheld).

The suspect, a resident of Modupe Street, off Balogun Street, Ikeja, allegedly penetrated his daughter’s private part with his fingers.


He was said to have brought the minor to Lagos from Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State in January, where the victim lived with her mother.

The police said the victim’s mother is a farmer based in Akwa Ibom State.

According to Police Commissioner Imohimi Edgal, Akpan’s incestuous behaviour was uncovered on May 23, after the victim refused to follow him home.

Edgal said the man usually dropped off the minor with one Mama Winner of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) before going to work and picked her up later.

“But on May 23, when the suspect came to take his daughter home, the minor refused to follow him. Asked why she did not want to go home with her father, the little girl narrated the sexual ordeal she was subjected to. The man blamed the devil for his action. Suspect would be charged to court.”
