BEVERLY HILLS, June 20, (THEWILL) –Â The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a man, Ike Iwuanyanwu, for allegedly raping and impregnating his 15-year-old daughter.
Iwuanyanwu, who works as a company driver, was arrested on Wednesday after the matter was reported at the Ajao Estate Police Division.
Reports indicate that Iwuanyanwu had also allegedly beaten his daughter and wife, warning them not to disclose the incident to anyone but the wife summoned courage and informed her family members on Wednesday, who went to the girl’s school to confirm the story from her.
The case was thereafter reported to the state Ministry of Youth and Social Development, which informed the police.
However, the woman was later arrested for taking the 15-year-old to a place where the pregnancy was aborted.
The young girl has been taken into custody by the Lagos State Government.
