“Evidence before the court shows that the prosecution has proved the case of defilement and rape before this court,” Justice Soladoye said.

“It is disgrace to parenthood. The defendant ravished his own daughters in turn, committing incest. It is rather shameful and most perverted.

“The defendant is hereby found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment on count one.

“On count two, he is sentenced to life imprisonment and on count three, he is also sentenced to life imprisonment,” the judge said.

Justice Soladoye also ordered that the convict should have his name written in the Lagos State Sexual Offenders Register.
