A 40-year-old known as Lucky Idahlia has been on Friday sentenced to 14 years imprisonment by Egor Chief Magistrates’ Court in Benin, for raping his own 17-year-old daughter.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs Igho Braimah, jailed the accused after he pleaded guilty to the charge.
Lucky who pleaded to the court said, he committed the act for money ritual due to the hardship of the country.
Mrs. Braimah said;
No matter what a father considered opportunity to become rich, he should not yield to the temptation of nursing idea of having canal knowledge of “his blood’’, let alone “really doing it’’.
The victim said the Father committed the act in June, 2016 at their home in Benin and warned her not to mention it to anyone, else he’ll kill her.
Consequently, the Chief Magistrate sentenced the accused to 14 years jail term.
