A Benin Chief Magistrate’s Court has sentenced a 47-year-old father, Godwin Allu, to seven years imprisonment with hard labour for having unlawful carnal knowledge of his 12-year-old daughter.
Allu was accused of sleeping with his daughter on Nov. 20, at 19 Omono Street, off Stadium road, Benin City.
The little girl had testified that her father had unlawful carnal knowledge of her three times at different occasions. The victim, who had blood stains on her uniform, informed her headmistress at Obaseki Primary School, Benin of the incident.
The headmistress later reported the case at the Airport Police Station, also in Benin. When he was arraigned before the court, the accused admitted committing the crime and pleaded for leniency.
Delivering judgment, yesterday [Nov. 29], the Chief Magistrate, Mr. Peter Obaseki, described the crime as bestial for which the accused deserved no mercy.
He said:
That the accused had carnal knowledge with a 12-year-old child on three separate occasions is bad enough. It is heart rendering that he was doing it with his own daughter, who even had blood stains on her uniform on the day this incest was reported.
For this reason, the convict must be put out of circulation for sometime so that he would not be able to continue with his bestial activities. ‘It is my prayer that God will forgive and change him for the better while in prison.
In the circumstance, the convict is sentenced to seven years imprisonment with hard labour. There shall be no option of fine.
The court also ordered the victim be taken to an orphanage for care and protection.
