Man sexually assaults daughter for four years

A 42-year-old father has been arrested for allegedly having sex with his 17-year-old daughter for four years.

The teenager is said to have resisted her father’s sexual assault on some occasions but the man is said to have used sleeping tablets to seduce her to have his way with her.

Briefing the Daily Graphic on the incident, Superintendent John F. Dzineku said the father, identified as Anthony Tamaklo, admitted having had sex with his daughter but blamed it on his wife, who was always busy with her business, and also on spiritual attack by his enemies.

After going through the ordeal for the period, the girl mustered courage last Sunday to report the matter to the police.
