My Daughters Consented To My Sleeping With Them After Their Mother’s Death

Peter Ayemola, a 50-year-old man, has been arrested in Suleja Local Government Area of Niger State, for having sex with his daughters.

The suspect, who lives on Golden Prime Street, Rafin-Sanyi, was apprehended after one of his relations sent a complaint to the state police command, that he was sleeping with his daughters, who are now 22 and 20 years old respectively.

Ayemola, while confessing to the crime, claimed that his daughters approved of his sexual escapades with them since their mother died seven years ago, when they were 15 and 13 years old.

He said: ”I started sleeping with my daughters seven years ago; I lost my wife in 2013, a situation that made me to start sleeping with my daughters.

“The death of my wife got me confused that I don’t even know when I started sleeping with my daughters. In fact, I don’t know what came over me.

“After my wife’s burial, I started having a deep affection for my daughters; I would go to their room and play with them until it metamorphosed into having sexual intercourse with them on a regular basis.

“I was sleeping with them separately but with their consent and it continued until I was arrested”.

The father of six also said he used biblical reference of Lot, who slept with his daughters and escaped God’s punishment to convince his children to allow him have sex with them.

“Honestly, I cannot explain how I could do that to my own daughters but there was a spirit that kept on telling me that I wasn’t the first man that slept with his daughter, so I should not worry too much about it”, he also confessed.

“When my daughters rejected my overtures, I normally told them that I wanted to be closer to them since their mother was dead; and at times, I threatened to kill them and commit suicide if I didn’t sleep with them.

“One day, I referred them to the Bible passage about how Lot had sex with his daughters and was not punished by God. I told them intercourse between father and daughter was normal and in the Bible.

“God knows I will never use my daughters or any of my children for ritual purposes; any father that does that is subhuman and evil. So, I will not do that. I am a father of six children – two daughters and four sons.

“I love them so much that I cannot harm them, let alone use them for rituals. The internal source of wisdom would never forgive me if I do that.

“Just as I said, the death of my wife got me devastated to the point that I didn’t know what I was doing. What I suspect is that somebody must have placed a curse on me because what I did for seven years is not normal, to be frank.

“What I did after my wife died was to bond with my children and they became closer to me until gradually, I started sleeping with the girls, but it was not for ritual purposes.

According to him, he continued to have sex with his daughters despite forcing him to remarry.

“I got married few years after my wife died. My daughters forced me to remarry so I could satisfy my sexual urge because my actions were abominable.

“Despite that, I still made love to them at the slightest opportunity or when my new wife was not at home. It went on like that until I was arrested by the police. It is quite unfortunate.

“Honestly, what is happening to me is not normal; I need to sort myself out, either physically or metaphysically so that I will have peace of mind.

“It shows that I am an irresponsible father to the core. Do you know that people have been asking me if they are truly my biological daughters?

“I don’t know what made me have sex with my biological daughters for seven years repeatedly. I deserve any punishment meted out to me as far as this case is concerned. I suspect that somebody wants to destroy me,” he said.
