An Akure-based pastor has been remanded after he admitted in court to sexually assaulting his teenage daughter for four years, astonishingly attributing his crimes to a 'generational curse'.
Samson Ajayi, 42, offered the bizarre defence while being arraigned on charges of rape and defilement, suggesting a sinister family history compelled his actions.
The long-running abuse, which began in 2021, was finally uncovered after the victim’s mother became suspicious and confronted her daughter, who then revealed the ordeal.
Police prosecutors detailed that the offences, which violate Ondo State’s Violence against Persons Prohibition Laws, led to Ajayi's arrest last week.
While his lawyer proposed an out-of-court settlement, the magistrate denied the request, citing the severity of the confessed crimes and order the remand at the Olokuta facility.
The case has been adjourned to November 20th as the court awaits further legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions.
