He was charged before Yaba Magistrate’s Court with indecent assault, defilement and unlawful carnal knowledge of the victims.
The police in Lagos State had paraded Ehiyele for the alleged crime and thereafter the matter was transferred to SCID, Panti, Yaba for further investigation where he allegedly confessed to the crime.
Ehiyele allegedly defiled and raped the victims at his house at Kolawole Sebili Street, Iyana-Ejigbo, Lagos when he was alone with the victims.
Sylvester-Ehijele: paedophile
On inspecting her body, she noticed blood stains on her private part. When she asked what happened, her seven-year-old daughter said it was her dad that did it. The daughter also alleged that he had raped her on numerous occasions.
The girl said her father, Ehijele, had sex with her several times, adding that he used to promise to buy her goodies and toys before the act.
She said he usually had sex with her on a daily basis whenever her mother was not home. “Whenever my mom is not at home, he grabs me, forces his hand over my mouth and then inserts his penis into my private part. He promises to buy me a car, cake and biscuit but he doesn’t buy anything for me.
“He also threatens to use a knife to remove my eyes anytime I threaten to report to my mother.”
The victims were later taken to Isolo General Hospital where doctors confirmed that they had indeed been deflowered.
The matter was reported to the police and Ehiyele was arrested, paraded and charged to court on a five-count charge of indecent assault, defilemen and rape under the Criminal Code .
When the matter came up, the court transfered the matter to a family court because of the age of the victims.
Ehiyele was remanded in custody pending when the court will determine the matter. When visited his home, the residents were not surprised about what happened.
Some of them said that his wife left him because of the same attitude and after much plea, she came back and now he had defiled the victims.
