David Gaius has been detained by the Song LGA of Adamawa State Police for allegedly raping his stepdaughter three times in the Dirma village of Dumne.
According to SP Suleiman Nguroje, the spokesperson for the command, the suspect acknowledged committing the crime and blamed the devil for tricking him into doing it while intoxicated.
However, he contradicted himself when he acknowledged using an attraction charm, claiming that he placed the charm in the meat that he and his victim consumed in order to draw her. Living in the same home as his wife and other children after the other members of the family had gone to bed, he said he first had carnal knowledge of the daughter in 2020 when she was 14 years old.
He continued by saying that when he recently did it three times, his wife caught him in the act, but he had lied to her by telling her that a native doctor had asked him to rape a young girl.
