'I slept with my own daughters'

Nigerian state police have arrested a man Yusuf Alabi for having sexual intercourse with his two daughters. 

Kogi State Police apprehended the 53-year old man following a complaint by one of his sons, Abdulmalik to the state investigation and intelligence bureau, alleging that his father was having intimate intercourse with two of his younger sisters.

The CP said when the boy challenged his father for committing the act, the suspect threatened to kill him if the news got to the public, cajoling the son that he was protecting his sisters.

Austine said the suspect has also confessed to the crime with an explanation that he committed the illicit acts in order to save his children from premature death.

The suspect also made a shocking statement while being questioned by journalists that none of his daughters offered resistance anytime he approached them for intimate intercourse.

In a shocking twist, the wife of the suspect has called on the police not to prosecute her husband saying though he might have committed the crime but the issue is a ‘family matter’ and should be allowed to be settled in the family way
