A middle-aged Ghanaian man who carries himself as a fetish priest was arrested in the studios of a local media station following his open confession and admittance of defiling his young daughter.
The victim, who is reported to be the biological child of the accused person distressed about her predicament, came to the Oyerepa studios to share her dilemma in efforts to receive help and break free from the clutches of her father who had subjected her to sexual intercourse.
According to her accounts, she had been defiled by her father, an action that went on for five years resulting in three pregnancies.
When questioned by the host about his actions, the accused admitted to the crime but attempted to absolve himself of responsibility by attributing his behavior to spiritual influences.
“It wasn’t intentional. I don’t know the kind of spirit that possessed me to commit such an atrocity. I’m pleading for forgiveness, look at God and forgive me,” he said on the program angering individuals present on the show.
The accused further went on to say, “I admit I was wrong but please forgive me. I immediately came here when I heard the case had come on tv.”
Following his confession, the accused was subsequently arrested. Videos circulating on social media, shared by the X account Sikaofficial, show him in handcuffs being escorted by plainclothes law enforcement officers.
Despite repeatedly pleading for his release, he was taken into custody to face the consequences of his actions.
