A man, identified as Chibuike Kalu, 33, who was arrested for allegedly defiling his 14-year-old daughter, has told the police Monday that the devil made him commit the act.

“I don’t know what happened to me. I just found myself making love to my daughter. It was the devil’s handiwork,” the police quoted Kalu as saying during interrogation.

The suspect, a resident of Amodu Street, Bariga, Lagos, was arrested on June 26, 2020 by some neighbours who handed him over to the Bariga police station for further investigation.

He was said to have sexually assaulted the teenager when his wife was not at home.

The police said they were still investigating to ascertain if that was the first time the man would be defiling the little girl.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, who confirmed the arrest, said the matter would soon be charged to court.
