The suspect, Oyelabi, a resident who lives at No 15 Community Road, Obadore, Iba, Lagos was arrested for sexually abusing and impregnating his 21-year-old twin daughter, Miss Taiwo Nibilia Oyelabi.

“The act is bizarre and a serious crime against our laws and humanity,” the commissioner said.
Upon interrogation, Oyelabi admitted having carnal knowledge of his daughter, saying he was seduced.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria that his daughter was possessed by the devil.
“I was in the living room with her one day when she suddenly grabbed me and started kissing me.
“I beat her and then took her to a white garment church where I was told that she was possessed.
“It happened up to five times before I discovered that she was three months pregnant.
“This is the work of the devil because I don’t know what to do with the baby,” Oyelabi said.
