A source in the community told Newsmen that villagers who had been suspicious of him, had approached him to question him about the affair but he denied it blatantly.

Not satisfied with his denial, some of their kinsmen decided to keep their eyes on the father and daughter. Fortunately, they were not disappointed by their suspicion as both were caught in the act.

Upon being caught in the act, the man reportedly attempted to jump out from the window of his building. He was later dragged to the palace of the traditional ruler of the area where he was said to have confessed to the crime.

After being made to atone for his sins by performing a traditional sacrifice to the gods of the land, the man who later realized how shameful the act was hanged himself on a tree in a nearby bush.

Before hanging himself, the man allegedly told his daughter to forgive him and also disclosed that he cannot live to bear the stigma of his act. The daughter who was also questioned said her father had to threaten to kill her if she exposed their secret affair to the public.

The source said;

“She told us that her father has been sleeping with her since she was 16 years, he even threatened to kill her if she reveals their affair to the mother who is a trader.

” Her mother takes her goods to the market every day, she does not know what is going on between them.”

It was also learnt that it was not the first time the incident has occurred in the community.
