Custodial dad arrested for attempted incest with daughter (Sekondi, Ghana)

Notice that that dad EDWARD KENNETH BAIDOO is custodial, and that the daughter and her half sister lived with him. Just as we see in the west, there is no explanation as to why the girls live with molester daddy, or why the daughter he assaulted and attempted to rape is separated from her mother in Nigeria.

Father arrested for attempted incest with daughter

From: Ghana | GNA Last Updated: May 16, 2012, 9:28 am

Forty-four-year-old Edward Kenneth Baidoo is in the grip of the Sekondi police for allegedly attempting to commit incest with her 17-year-old daughter.

The Western Regional Crime Officer, Mr. James Kofi Abraham told the GNA in Sekondi that the victim whose mother is in Nigeria lived with her half-sister and the father at Sekondi Baakano.

The Crime Officer said the victim (name withheld) is a 17-year old JHS graduate and slept in the same room with her half sister.

The police said on May 7 when the victim’s half-sister had traveled, the father took advantage and entered the victim’s room and inserted his fingers into her vagina and attempted to have sexual intercourse with her but she refused.

The father then subjected her to severe beatings when she escaped naked and sought refuge with a co-tenant.

The next day, the co-tenant accompanied the victim to report the father’s act to the Sekondi Domestic Victims Support Unit and was arrested.
