The man is said to be sleeping with his daughter since she
was in primary 5 and conspired with his live-lover, Ijeoma Ndukwu to abort the

As if that was not enough, he was also accused of raping a
neighbour’s 18-month-old baby, who was put in his care to look after.
According to an anonymous: “Michael and his wife have been
separated. He later brought his daughter to live with him in Lagos.
“But we started noticing changes in her and encouraged her
to tell her father to take her to the hospital, where it was discovered that
she was pregnant. The father reportedly told his live-in lover, Ijeoma Ndukwu,
to assist him abort the pregnancy. This caused problems between them.
“As if that was not enough, he was alleged to have fingered
a one-year and six months old baby in the same compound. The child’s father
reported the case to police.
” Father of the child allegedly molested, Uche, told
policemen: “My wife discovered that our baby had a tear in her private part
when she wanted to bathe her. Before then, it was only Michael that was with
the baby inside his room.
“We took her to Mende Health Centre, where doctors confirmed
our fears. It was while there that a neighbour informed us that he was
violating his daughter as well.”
Moreover, when victim was interrogated, the JSS 2, girl
confirmed that had been raping her steadily, and that 8 July was the most
recent time he had sex with her.
When the little girl was asked why she has refused to expose
the illicit act done to her, she said: “I could not tell anyone because he
threatened to kill me. My mother and my father are separated. I live with my
daddy and my step-mother, while my mother lives in Sagamu.
“My father threatened that I must not tell anybody about
what he was doing to me. He uses force to have sex with me.”
It was with the help some aggrieved neighbours who informed
