Man Impregnates And Murders His Daughter In Ekiti

Residents of Emure in Emure Local Government Area of
Ekiti State, are still in shock over the dastardly act of a
50-year-old man and native of the town from Ile onisa
quarters, and simply identified as Williams who allegedly
impregnated his 14-year old daughter (names withheld),
and subsequently murdered her to cover up his crime.
Residents in the community told DAILY POST that
Williams had some few months ago ended up putting his
14-year old daughter in the family way after series of
alleged illicit affair with the poor girl. They added that
recently, the girl began to develop a protruding stomach
and no one was seen with her except her father.
Neigbhours who had been suspicious of the unholy rapport
between father and daughter began to peddle rumours
about the source of the girl’s pregnancy. Soon, the news
was making the rounds among the villagers, gossips and
rumour mongers that Williams had performed the
‘uncommon feat’ of impregnating his own daughter.
Moreso, that the community isn’t a complex one as
relationships among residents are closely knitted: like the
saying goes ‘bad news spreads like wild fire”; in no time,
everyone began to point fingers at Williams whenever he
passes on the streets, they were telling one another that
he had put his own daughter in the family way.
Then the worst happened. According to Anike, a lady
resident in the community, Williams woke up on Sunday
(September 4) morning, summoned yet another uncommon
courage, took his ‘expectant girl’ to his farm in Aba Iso
area of the community, ended the whole shameful drama
there, quietly dispatched the girl and her unborn baby into
an early grave.
“We are sure Williams killed his pregnant girl so as to
cover up his crime because the girl’s pregnancy was
already becoming very conspicuous and everyone knew
that it was her father who slept with her,” the lady said.
” It took us a while before we were able to apprehend
Williams and drag him to the Oba’s palace, Oba Emmanuel
Adebayo who is himself a retired Police Commissioner.
The monarch has since handed him over to the Civil
Defence Corps who have since taken up the matter,”
another resident, Omodele, said.
