The Lagos state police command says it arrested Ede Tyndale,
a 50-year-old man, for allegedly raping his 19-year-old daughter on a number of
occasions.
In a statement on Sunday, Bala Elkana, spokesman of Lagos
police command, said Tyndale was arrested after his wife filed a complaint
against him.
Elkana said the mother told the police that her husband
started having sexual intercourse with their daughter when she was 11.
According to him, the suspect instilled so much fear in her
that she was afraid to tell anyone about what she was going through.
“Trouble started when the woman noticed some strange
behaviours from her daughter and decided to find out why the sudden disrespect
towards her father,” he said.
“The survivor opened up to her mother that her father
started having sexual intercourse with her when she was 11-years-old. That he
often threatened violence whenever she resist(ed) him.
“The father instilled so much fear in her that she finds it
difficult to report to anybody.”
The police spokesman said Tyndale has been charged to court
and the hearing of the case has been fixed for June 16.
“After a thorough investigation into the case, the suspect
was on 11/5/2020, charged before Chief Magistrate Court ll Ogba on five count
charges of incest, rape, sexual harassment, defilement and sexual assault,”
Elkana said.
