Operatives of the Adamawa State Police Command have arrested one David Gaius for allegedly raping his stepdaughter.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Suleiman Nguroje, who made this known said Gaius, who resides in Unguwan Prison in the Dirma village of Dumne, Song Local Government Area, admitted committing the offence.
Gaius, who raped his stepdaughter on three occasions, blamed it on the devil which he said deceived him into the act while he was drunk.
He contradicted his own stance, however, when he admitted using a charm of attraction, saying that he put the charm in the meat which his victim and himself ate, to attract her.
He said he first had carnal knowledge of the girl in 2020 when she was 14 years old while living in the same house with his wife and other children after the other members of the family had slept.
Gaius added that when he did it the third time recently, his wife caught him red-handed, but that she lied to her that a native doctor asked him to rape a little girl.
He denied using a white handkerchief to clean his victim’s private part for ritual purposes as alleged by the girl, adding that he did not rape her for ritual purposes.
