A 40-year-old man identified as Hafizu Isyaku, has allegedly impregnated his teenage daughter for a ritual purpose at Tundun Wada, Abuja.
Reports stated that the girl’s mother, Maryam Manta, said that the incident occurred at Tudun Wada, Maraba, near Abuja where she resided before relocating to Kaduna.
She narrated to newsmen, “When I returned from my journey where I went to see my parents, I noticed my daughter was sick and was behaving strangely.
According to her, she noticed everything when her daughter fell sick, ”Earlier, I did not suspect anything because my husband constantly gave her some concoctions to drink, claiming it was going to heal her.
”When the sickness persisted and I noticed my daughter had missed her period, I questioned and threatened her to tell me if she had any affair with any man. Eventually, she opened up to me that her father had been having canal knowledge of her while I was away.
“When I confronted my husband, he cried and confessed joining a cult which mounted pressure on him to get his daughter pregnant and then abort it as a sacrifice. I became confused and wept profusely but when he promised to disassociate himself from the cult, I went together with him to the hospital where the pregnancy was aborted,” she added.
The woman noted that she later caught her husband in the act with her daughter, even after aborting the pregnancy, adding that she had reported the issue to the District Head of Kabala Doki, Danlami Bawa.
