year-old man, Kennedy Michael for
impregnating his 16-year-old daughter,
persuaded her to have an abortion and for
also molesting his neighbor’s 18-month-old
baby girl.
According to the police, Michael was arrested
after his neighbour Uche whose child was
molested reported the case. She disclosed that:
“Michael’s girlfriend, Ijeoma Ndukwe assisted
in procuring abortion for his teenage
daughter, Maria. Uche added that, when she
discovered that something was wrong with
Maria, she told her father who instructed that
his lover should take her to the hospital. It
was there that they discovered Maria was
pregnant.
After much interrogation the little girl
confessed that, her father was responsible for
her pregnancy. Ijeoma got angry and
immediately confronted Michael who
confessed to her. They both agreed to abort
the pregnancy.
One of their neighbours learnt about the
abortion and alerted the appropriate
authority. Ijeoma and Michael were
arrested.” After his arrest, Michael confessed
that he has been sexually molesting his
daughter since 2014, when she was about 14-
years-old.
However Michael and Maria’s mother
separated a long time ago and he brought his
daughter to Lagos, to live with him. His
neighbor revealed that: “Michael
‘fingered’ (molested) a neighbor’s 18-month-
old baby.”
The child’s father, Uche said: “My wife
wanted to bathe our child and discovered she
had a tear inside her private part. Before
then, it was only Michael that was with the
baby inside his room.
Upon confirmation from Mende Health Centre
that our daughter had been violated, I
contacted my lawyer. I also informed the
police, so that he could be prosecuted.
But the police swept the matter under the
carpet.” Uche added that, when he heard
from Maria’s friends that her father
impregnated her and procured abortion for
her with the help of his lover, he knew he
wouldn’t allow Michael to escape once again.
They interviewed Maria separately. She said it
happened and also confessed that her father
had sex with her last on Friday, July 8. It was
also learnt that Michael was arrested on
Tuesday, July 12, after the intervention of
Child Abuse and Domestic Violence Agency
from Alausa, Ikeja.
