POLICE in Kaduna State are investigating a gruesome case of rape and incest after 31-year old Daniel Joseph was accused of raping his two year old daughter in Gonin-Gora within Chikun Local Government Area.  

Mr Joseph, a carpenter was said to have been exposed by his neighbours who reported the case to the Kaduna State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development after which he was handed over to the police command. It was also gathered that mother of the girl is late which gave him room for the father to allegedly have carnal knowledge of his daughter. 

Upon interrogation, the suspect was said to have denied it but people in the area testified that he is fond of the ungodly act. It was, however, gathered that a doctor who examined the little girl confirmed penetration & serious infection. 

Kaduna State commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hajia Rabi Abdulsalam expressed shock and condemned the act in totality. Nigeria Association of Women Journalists' chairperson, Juliet Nwogu Oyoyo also condemned the act and disclosed plans to organise a rally to kick against rape and molestation of the women folks.
