It is perhaps the worst
degree of incest for a man
to serially sleep with his
daughters and worse still,
with a 15-month-old
granddaughter.

It all looked like a tale
from a movie when seven-
year-old yesterday
recounted how her father
had repeatedly had carnal
knowledge of her.

THISDAY gathered that the
suspect, Mr. Sylvester
Ehijere, 49, had continually
had carnal knowledge of
his two daughters,
including 23-year-old
Favour, who he had been
raping since she was 17, as
well as the granddaughter.

The traumatised girl said
her father slept with her
for the first time last year,
and had continued to do
so, even when the act
regularly became a source
of discord and friction in
the family.

"He covered my mouth
with his big hand so that I
wouldn't shout and then
put his manhood inside
me. It was painful. I was
crying and begging him to
stop but he refused.
"When he finished, he told
me that he would pluck out
my eyes and those of my
mother and brothers and
sisters if I tell anyone what
he did to me. He also
promised to buy me cars,
biscuits, sweets, clothes
and shoes but he did not
buy it," the seven-year-old
girl told THISDAY.

She continued, "He always
targets when my mother
goes out and then he will
first put his finger into my
private part before he will
use his organ. Whenever
my mother tried to ask
him what he did, he beat
her up. Now he has done
the same thing to my small
niece.

"The day he slept with her,
he pursued my brother,
Kingsley, and I outside and
locked the door. I knew
what he was doing to her
but I couldn't tell anyone
because my mother was
not around. When he came
out, he was sweating all
over."

Confirming the incident,
the state Police Public
Relations Officer, Ngozi
Braide, a Deputy
Superintendent of Police,
said the man would soon
be charged to court on
charges of defilement,
which is punishable under
the law with life
imprisonment.

She said: "The suspect is in
the habit of sleeping with
his daughters and now his
granddaughter has joined
the equation. We have the
doctor's report, which
shows that the girls have
been defiled and are no
longer virgins.
"Their hymens were
brutally torn and the
doctor who established
that they were defiled
advised for them to be
taken for Human Immune
Virus (HIV) tests. The wife
who was fed up with his
act reported the case to
the Ejigbo Divisional Police
Officer, Oliver Inoma-
Abbey, a Chief
Superintendent of Police."

For the suspect's wife,
Mrs. Margaret Ehijere, the
last straw that broke the
camel's back was when the
suspect raped her
granddaughter.

She told THISDAY that she
had been married to the
suspect for over 23 years.
She said, "I am a
professional caterer and in
2006 I went to Abuja for a
catering job. At about 1am,
my first daughter
hysterically called me on
the phone. She said her
father had raped her that
night. I lost that job
because I had to go back
to Lagos in the morning to
be with my daughter.

"When I confronted him,
he beat me up and I had
no choice but to report
him to his mother who
also accused me of framing
up her son. I left him
when I was fed up of him
sleeping with our
daughters and me. And he
cannot accuse me of
ignoring his bedtime
requests, as I was always
available for him."

Margaret later moved out
of the matrimonial home
with her six children. But
in 2011, her husband’s
family went to appeal to
her to forgive him and take
him back. She did, “after
he swore to keep off my
daughters.”

"I really thought he had
changed; but in August last
year, I caught him in a
compromising situation
with our last daughter. I
called her out and she
narrated how her father
had been abusing her.
Again, I confronted him
and he beat me up.”
Ever since then, Margaret
had started keeping her
daughters away from her
husband.

On how she found out that
he had defiled their
granddaughter, she said:
"Because my daughter
works, we decided to put
her daughter at a day care
in Ejigbo. I have always
been the only one that
brings her back at 6pm
everyday from the day
care.”

He later violated the baby
after sending the elder
children on an errand.
“And my granddaughter
was screaming till I came
back in the evening," she
added

Although the suspect had
earlier denied the
allegations, he couldn't
repeat his denials before
his wife.

The father is a sociopathic pedophile and I hope he doesn't see the outside of the prison walls for the rest of his life. Bastard!


That being said, big shame on the mother for not protecting her daughters enough from this monster.

Devil incarnate. He is a disgrace to humanity. Shame on you.

Its about time stiffer penalties be introduced for this kind of crime!

Disgusting father,repulsive grandmother for protecting her rapist son.i wonder what this world is turning to.the man is even lucky with the kinds of daughters he has.he will have been reported to at least 1o police stations and many womens groups.they should disgrace him and the useless grandmother because they have destroyed their family.tufiiaaaaaa.i hope for a day in nairaland where i will not see a case of rape somewhere in nigeria again.men don dey fear me o it has gotten to a level that if i enter a commercial bus and i notice all of the passengers are men,i wont even bother entering that bus.
