The entire Emure community in Emure Local Government Area of Ekiti State were thrown into wild bewilderment following the abominable action of a 50-year-old man who raped and impregnated his 14-year-old daughter and went ahead to murder her in cold blood.
The man identified only as Williams who hails from the Ile onisa quarters of the town killed the poor girl in order to cover up his crime.
Daily Post reports that the man got his daughter pregnant after series of alleged illicit affair with her.
According to residents, the girl’s stomach started protruding only recently and rumours started going round that he was possibly responsible for the pregnancy as he was the only one always seen around her prior to the incident.
It was gathered that just like a wild fire, the news was making the rounds among the villagers, gossips and rumour mongers that Williams had performed the ‘uncommon feat’ of impregnating his own daughter.
A lady resident in the community identified only as Anike stated that Williams woke up in the early hours of Sunday, September 4, 2016 and lured the girl to his farm located in Aba Iso area of the community where he killed her.
Anike said: “We are sure Williams killed his pregnant girl so as to cover up his crime because the girl’s pregnancy was already becoming very conspicuous and everyone knew that it was her father who slept with her.”
Another resident, Omodele, added: “It took us a while before we were able to apprehend Williams and drag him to the Oba’s palace, Oba Emmanuel Adebayo who is himself a retired Police Commissioner.
“The monarch has since handed him over to the Civil Defence Corps who have since taken up the matter.”
