A father, who raped his eleven year old biological, daughter Abubakar Magaji, in Liman Katagum of Bauchi Local Government Area has explained that he raped his daughter because his wife left him.

Magaji made the confession after he was arrested and paraded before news men Thursday at Bauchi state police command headquarters.

The suspect told reporters that “I engaged in the ugly act because my wife left me”.

Magaji, a father of four confessed to have had an unlawful canal knowledge of  his daughter twice saying ” I am ashamed  of my self because it was temptation that led me to do it.”

He said: ” I  divorced her mother and married another wife but unfortunately  my wife also left me a month ago. So, I needed a woman to be with so that was why I did it.”

Parading the suspect along others at the police headquarters in Bauchi, the State Police Commissioner, Lawal  Shehu, expressed worry over the increasing rate of rape cases in the state and vowed that all rape suspects will be charged to court and prosecuted.

He said: “since January, we have arrested over 10 suspected rapists. Only this week we recorded over five cases. It is worrisome that among the suspects arrested include a 45 year old man who raped his 11 year old daughter and two men who are between 45 to 54 years who raped girls of between two and four years.

Shehu said: “Any suspect arrested in connection to rape case will be charged to court and be prosecuted because rape suspects will not be bailable. Even when  courts are on strike, the suspects will remain in detention till courts resume and will  be charged to court.”
