The man allegedly committed the offence in October 2015, while his wife and mother of the victim, Bunmi, was not at home. The mother, who had been married to the man for the past six years without any child, said he took to his heels after confessing to the crime.
Bunmi explained that she just discovered that the girl was five months pregnant last week.
She said, “When I asked her who was responsible for the pregnancy, she started crying, saying if she told me she would die. I took her to my pastor and after much pressure, she confessed that it was my husband.
“She told my pastor that when I was not around, my husband entered into her room with a machete and r*ped her.
“After the r*pe, my daughter said he brought out a red handkerchief and warned her not to tell anybody or else she would die.”
Police have launched a manhunt for the husband, who is still on the run.
