Speaking at the Professor Dora Akunyili Women Development Center, Awka, the alleged rapist Mr Ikechukwu Ekenta said that he was carried away as he said he was pushed by an evil spirit to rape his child.
He said whenever the spirit came, he will start behaving abnormally and that very day, he used his finger to defile the girl as the urge came.
While explaining what she encountered on her return from hospital, the wife of the rapist, Mrs Uzoamaka Ekenta said she noticed sharp pain from her child while bathing her and on enquiry, discovered that her husband had defile her daughter.
Mrs Ekenta said she hurridly asked her husband what transpired and he admitted committing the crime and took the girl to hospital where it was noticed that he used his penis instead of his hands as he claimed.
