An average man whose identity cannot be ascertained, a native of Amaigbo in Nwangele Local Government Area of Imo State has committed suicide by hanging himself after he was caught having canal knowledge of his daughter.
A source
narrated to Tribune Online in Owerri that the man had been forcing her
17-year-old daughter to sleep with him for a very long time before the bubble
burst on him.
According to
the source, the villagers who had been suspicious of his incest with his
daughter had earlier approached him but he denied it blatantly.
Again some of
their kinsmen who were not satisfied with the reasons he gave to them decided
to keep their eyes on the father and daughter until unfortunately both of them
were caught in the act.
The source
said that angry youths around were able to apprehend the man even as he
attempted to jump out from the window of his building.
He was later
dragged to the palace of the traditional ruler of the area where he was said to
have confessed to the crime.
He was made
to appease the gods of the land by performing traditional sacrifice but
realising the shameful act he had landed himself to, he hanged himself on a
tree in a nearby bush.
The man was
said to have told his daughter to forgive him but also told her that he could
not live to bear the stigma of his act.
Her daughter
on interrogation claimed her father had been threatening to kill her if she
exposed their secret affair to the public.
The source
said: “She told us that her father has been sleeping with her since she was 16
years, she even threatened to kill her if she reveals their affair to the
mother who is a trader.”
According to
the source, whenever her mother took her goods to the market every day, she did
not know what was going on between them.
