Mrs Joshua also said that she had discovered that her daughter, identified as, Odunayo, was five months pregnant following continuous illness, expressing shock that her daughter had been impregnated under her watch.

Speaking on the sickening event, Vanguard reports that Mrs Joshua said:

"it was one of my neighbour who called my attention to it recently that my girl was pregnant and anytime time I asked her about who was responsible for the pregnancy, she would be crying that if she said it she would die.

I then took her to my pastor and after much pressure, she confessed that it was my husband. And when we took her to hospital it was confirmed she was five months pregnant.

"She told my pastor that when I was not around my husband entered into her room with a machete and threatened to kill if she did not allow him to sleep with her. After forcing her to have sex with him , my child said he brought out a red handkerchief and warned her not to tell anybody or else she would die. That is why she did not tell anyone"

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr. Femi Joseph, confirmed the incident saying that policemen were on Orojo's trail as the police had begun further investigation into the matter.
