The incestuous relationship between a father and his daughter in Ibadan has resulted in the birth of a baby boy named Samuel, the News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN ) reports.
NAN reports that Samuel, now one month old, is with the Oyo State Youth Development Council, while his 36-year-old father/grandfather, Olaolu Adeleke, is being held at the Agodi Prisons on a three-count charge.
Mr Kehinde Akinyemi, the Principal Social Welfare Officer at the Council, told NAN yesterday in Ibadan that Samuel was in good health, but needed blood transfusion.
"We are consulting with the management on the issue," Akinyemi said.
NAN gathered that Adeleke turned his 16-year-old daughter (name withheld) into his bedmate after divorcing the mother some years ago.
Adeleke had been arraigned before Chief Magistrate A. Bolaji on charges of unlawful carnal knowledge, threat and intimidation and attempt to kill.
Police Prosecutor, Benjamin Akindoyin, told the court that the accused committed the offences, punishable under Sections 284 (3), 358 and 509 of the Criminal Code Cap 38, Vol. 11 Laws of Oyo State of Nigeria.
The prosecutor said that the accused committed the shameful act between Dec. 2007 and March 2008.
When the case came up for hearing today, it was adjourned till October 20. (NAN)
