Edem Fedieley a the Adenta Police
Station
|
A 40-year-old driver who allegedly
fathered a child with his biological daughter has found himself in the grip of
the Adentan Police.
The man, identified as Edem
Fedieley, was arrested after his 17-year-old junior high school (JHS) dropout
daughter had told the police about the instances of sexual abuse and assault
she had suffered since she was 12.
At age 16, the victim was said to
have been impregnated by her father.
After she was delivered of a baby
boy last year, Fedieley put her on a family planning contraceptive known as
Norplant for a period of five years to prevent another pregnancy.
According to the police, the girl
claimed that her father usually mixed alcohol and honey and compelled her to
drink it before he forcibly had sex with her three times in a week.
The victim was said to have vacated
her father’s house one morning after she had been subjected to another bout of
sexual abuse because she could not take it any longer.
Daughter runs away
Speaking to the Daily Graphic,
the Adentan District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mr
Stephen Kofi Ahiatafu, said on August 10, 2014, Fedieley reported to the police
that his daughter, who lived in the same house with him at Adentan, was
missing.
While the police were investigating
the complaint, Fedieley reportedly informed the police on August 11, 2014 that
he knew the whereabouts of his daughter.
“He led the police to a house where
his daughter and a 19-year-old man were picked up for interrogation,” Mr
Ahiatafu said.
Initially, he said, the police
charged the man who was living with the girl in his house with abduction, since
Fedieley claimed his daughter had been kidnapped.
Girl speaks to police
“However, during interrogation, the
girl said she was abandoned by her mother when she was only seven months old
and had been taken care of by her father ever since,” he said.
According to him, the girl said her
father started having sex with her when she turned 12 and threatened her not to
inform anyone about it or risk her life.
He said the girl alleged that her
father made her drink honey and a locally distilled alcohol which made her
drowsy and weak before having sex with her.
On August 6, 2014, the victim, after
one of the sexual encounters, packed out of her father’s house.
Mr Ahiatafu said she relocated to
the house of the young man in whom she had confided and with whom she had
become friends a few days earlier.
“So the complainant was rather
arrested and interrogated, in the course of which he admitted the offence,” Mr
Ahiatafu said.
He said the victim had assault marks
all over her body.
Fedieley has since been charged with
incest and he will be put before court soon.
