A 61-Year-Old Pastor told an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, on Wednesday, that his tenant, Godwin Emmanuel, defiled and impregnated his 16-year-old daughter.
The witness told the court that Emmanuel was his tenant, whom he knew through an estate agent.
“Godwin defiled my daughter and impregnated her at the age of 16 years.
“I reported the case at Area K Police Station in Badagry where my daughter confirmed that he had been sleeping with her for a long time.
“My daughter kept the pregnancy and gave birth to a female child,” he said.
Under cross-examination by defense counsel, Mr. Victor Edet, the pastor told the court that he could not recollect the precise date that he reported the case to the police.
The pastor also told the court that his daughter told him that during one of the sex romps, the condom in use broke.
Emmanuel, however, told the pastor’s daughter to shift responsibility to a third person whom he introduced to her, the pastor added.
Presiding Justice Abiola Soladoye adjourned further hearing in the case to December 11. (NAN)
