Aswad Ayinde is accused of raping his daughters to create a "pure" bloodline, fathered six kids with them from the mid-1980s to 2002 - and delivered the babies himself, the court heard during his trial last Friday
An award-winning music director who impregnated one of his daughters four times has been found guilty and will spend the rest of his life in jail, reports Daily Mail online.
Aswad Ayinde, 55, of Paterson, NJ, was sentenced to 50 years in prison Friday after being found guilty in the second of five expected trials in which he is accused of repeatedly raping his six daughters, resulting in six children being fathered. He also fathered 12 additional children with an additional three women, according to court records
Mr. Ayinde was found guilty in his latest trial of having intercourse with one of his daughters when she was as young as eight-years-old.
The second sentence adds to the 40-year sentence Mr Ayinde received in a 2011 trial for sexually assaulting a separate daughter.
Mr. Ayinde is known for directing the music video for the Fugees 1996 smash hit Killing Me Softly.
In a disturbing disclosure during his first trial, Mr. Ayinde’s former wife said he was trying to create a ‘pure family bloodline’ by impregnating his daughters.
He even claimed during a pre-trial hearing before the first trial that ‘the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen.’
In this latest trial, it was revealed that Mr. Ayinde began having intercourse with his second daughter from the time she was eight-years-old, impregnating her four times.
The sexual assaults happened for almost 30 years until Mr. Ayinde and his wife separated, officials said. They occurred in numerous homes across northern New Jersey, even while the family was under watch of state child welfare officials, according to NBC New York. Some of the rapes even took place in an abandoned funeral home.
The family moving as far away as Florida to avoid investigation after case workers removed multiple children from the Ayinde household in 2000, resulting in Mr. Ayinde being arrested for kidnapping for trying to take them from state custody in a medical centre, NBC New York reported.
He pleaded guilty to lesser charges and received a year’s probation – as he continued raping one daughter for at least another two years, according to officials.
The depraved father also beat and starved the girls using wooden boards and steel-toed boots for even ‘minor transgressions,’ Ayinde’s wife testified at the first trial.
Some of the children Ayinde fathered with his daughters were born in the home, with at least two babies who died in the home having been buried without notifying authorities or obtaining birth certificates, NBC New York reported.
Ayinde’s tortured daughters were home schooled and isolated from other children, so as to keep the family secrets hidden, the station added.
With his wife too afraid to confront him, Mr. Ayinde carried out his evil plan without hindrance even while directing the music video for the Fugees 1996 breakout hit Killing Me Softly, for which he won ‘Best R&B Video’ at the 1996 MTV Music Video Awards. The Fugees are also originally from Northern New Jersey.
Mr. Ayinde faces three more trials over the alleged assaults.
However, when the news broke yesterday, some Nigerians abroad reacted to the story, saying the man is not a Nigerian. Rather, he adopted Nigerian name, Aswad Ayinde later in life.

ReplyDeleteHere we are! Now dis is an issue of having a carnal knowledge of a toddler as young as 8 years but I've not yet heard anybody condemned that as child abuse whatsoever! But when it is Islam, everyone has an opinion to air abi? *smh. God is watching you all! That specific hatred you have for Al-Islam will surely land you into the hell. Hypocrites!!!
ReplyDeleteThats cos islam is dog poo!
DeleteDia z a special place in hell for wat he did 2 those kid! Damned soul! ( Paedophile)
ReplyDelete@Anonimous 10am. You are as sick as the Aswad man. The system has just sentenced a man to 90 years. He has more trials for which more sentences WILL be passed. And you say no one condemned the abominable act? Name one person in your insane world that has been tried for child-sex and family sex related offences which by the way is replete in your world that you are glorifying. If anything, you guys are sponsoring laws in the national assembly to legalize it. How sick can people be?
ReplyDeleteThank you anonymous 2:19pm for answering him. Very well spoken, it was as if you took the words right out of my mouth.
DeleteNigeriaEye and their quest for sensation! It took
ReplyDeleteme just 1 minute on the Internet to confirm that the man's real name is Eric McGill. He adopted the name Aswad Ayinde. NigerianEye sure knows he is not Nigerian but feigned ignorance just to keep their Nigerian audience interested in the story. Shame on you NE.
The name Ayinde should tell you he is Muslim
ReplyDeleteBe corrected, Ayinde is a typical Yoruba name not muslim. Of course, Aswad is Arabic and muslim.
ReplyDeleteHe is muslim. He changed his name to a muslim name when he converted to Islam. He is definitely not Yoruba or a Nigerian.
