Angry Father
Cuts Graduate’s Penis For Sleeping With Daughter
An angry
father, Dennis Akpati, who caught a graduate of the Lagos State University, Ojo
Lagos State, southwest, Nigeria, Seun Ogunbanwo in his house allegedly raping
his 20-year old daughter (name withheld) and sliced his penis with a machete is
to be charged to court for assault.
Ogunbanwo, a
graduate of Business Administration who recently finished his NYSC was
allegedly caught having sex with Akpati’s daughter inside her father’s flat at
52, Tijani Alabi Street, Ijegun, on the outskirts of Lagos.
The angry
father, it was learnt, attacked the graduate with a machete and beat him
mercilessly. The unlucky graduate was seriously manhandled and later the
machete was used to slice his penis to deter him from future attacks on girls.
He was handed
over to the police who took him to the hospital for treatment and later charged
with having an unlawful carnal knowledge of a 20-year old lady before the
Ejigbo Magistrates’ Court, Lagos.
The accused
was brought to court by the police to face the charges but when the presiding
magistrate, Mrs. M. B. Folami, saw the pitiable state of the accused, she
ordered the police to arrest the father of the victim (Akpati) and others
involved in the battering of the accused and charge them to court for assault.
She explained
that under the law, the accused is presumed innocent until found guilty, adding
that nobody should be allowed to take the laws in his hands.
Ogunbanwo was
alleged to have sneaked into Akpati’s home when the victim was alone and
forcefully had sex with her. The father allegedly caught him on top of his
protesting daughter.
The girl, it
was gathered, was crying and attempting to free herself from him when her
father came in. The father was so angry that he reportedly took a machete and
cut Ogunbanwo all over his body, including his penis.
Speaking with
P.M.NEWS on his way to the hospital with his police escort, the accused said
the girl was his friend and that they lived in the same area.
He said that
it was her father who macheted him when he met him in his house with his
daughter. He said others later joined him in attacking him.
He did not
deny that he slept with the girl.
He was
charged with housebreaking and rape, offences punishable under Sections 411 and
358 of the Criminal Code, Cap. 17, Vol. 2, Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria,
2003.
He pleaded
not guilty to the charges and the court granted him bail in the sum of N100,
000 with two sureties in like sum. The matter has been adjourned till 18
January, 2011. (pm news)
