A Domestic Violence Court in Ikeja, Lagos has on Tuesday, 17 March 2020, sentenced 52-year-old Folorunso Oluwaseun to 40 years jail term after he was found guilty of defiling his own daughter.

In 2019, Folorunsho was accused of sleeping with his daughter for many years, after starting when she was just 12 years old. He was reportedly caught right in the act by his estranged wife when the girl was 17.

According to The Nation, Justice Sybil Nwaka while delivering judgment, described the convict as “the devil incarnate, wicked and satanic” after finding him guilty of sexually assaulting his daughter for more than four years.

“This defendant is wicked, callous, satanic and devilish. What manner of father would sexually assault his own daughter for a long period of time without any sense of remorse?” the judge said.

“This defendant starves his own children for sex.

“He is nothing but the devil incarnate.

“Releasing this kind of man to the society would amount to unleashing mayhem to other girl-children in our society.

Justice Sybil Nwaka then urged mothers to report callous husbands who prey on their children sexually.

“I encourage mothers to report callous husbands who tend to prey on their children,” she continued.

“I hereby find this defendant, Folorunso Oluwaseun, guilty of both charges and sentence him to 40 years in prison,”

The 18-year-old victim who spoke to the court during her testament revealed that her father started defiling her when she was just 12 years old. Meanwhile, when his wife caught him in the act, he threatened to murder her.

“In 2016, my mother came back to stay with us, she caught us one night when my father was trying to have sex with me. She screamed and my father threatened to kill her,” the victim revealed.
