An Ikeja Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday sentenced a randy father, who raped his two daughters, to seven years imprisonment with hard labour.

The Magistrate, O.A. Adedayo, ordered that Emmanuel Obott,46, be kept behind bars after finding him guilty on an eight-count charge of assault, battery, and rape.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the plea of Mr. Obott, who raped the girls aged 24 and 22, was not taken.

Enraged by Mr. Obott’s offence, the magistrate called out his family members to enquire whether he had a psychiatric problem. The family members, however, said he had no such ailment.

“It is the most atrocious of crime that could be meted out on one’s flesh and blood. The action of the accused will leave a psychological torture on the girls,” the magistrate said.

Mr. Adedayo advised the family to take the girls to a church for counselling.

The Prosecutor, Chris Takim, a police inspector, had earlier told the court that Mr. Obott, who claimed to be a clearing and forwarding agent, raped his daughters to satisfy his sexual urge.

“On many occasions, he threatened to kill the two girls if they failed to give in to his amorous advances,” Mr. Takim said.

He stated that the accused wilfully destroyed one of the girl’s skirt and blouse valued at N10, 000 in the process of raping her.

Mr. Takim said one of the girls became pregnant for Mr. Obott, who went ahead to obtain an abortion for her, while he flogged the other girl on many occasions for refusing his sexual advances.

Mr. Takim said the unsuspecting mother of the girls had packed out of the house, leaving them behind.

He said the offences, which were committed on April 15 at 3, Jadesola Street, Mende, Maryland, Ikeja, contravened Sections 86, 214, 230, 249, 355, 357 and 360 (d) of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State.

jesus

they should have ganged up on his dirty soul and taught him a very mysterious lesson

whats 7years is that the maximum he could have gotten after psychologically damaging these young women and killing an unborn child thats definitely no justice but at least compare to how things like this hardly get a mention in naija, 7years is still something, though it would be even much better if he would be anally despoiled in prison for rest of the 7years there.

he couldnt afford a love-peddler or a self-service, he decided to despoil his own blood? when will wonders ever end

What in the world is this?

Jesus!

The man should have been castrated. That wil ensure he does not use his pipee to cause futher trble.
7 years my foot!
rubbish

Why dint the girls tell their mother?

Weird family!!

but these girls are old enough to resist this evil man and run away to make a report that their father is "mad"

I wonder what they were still doing in that house when their father was making his advances. it must have started somewhere and that was when they should have sought help or run away from the evil man.

mind manipulation and fear,physical abuse probably kept them in "check".
