Man, 68, docked for incest

Two young women, Jamila Sani, 22, and Hauwa Sani, 18, have dragged their 68-year-old father to an Upper Area Court in Dukku, Gombe, for alleged incest.

Both of them told the court that their father, Sani Kushinaga, had allegedly been going to bed with them, and had threatened to ``'slaughter'' any of them who revealed the secret.

The two ladies also alleged that on many occasions, their father, who had divorced their mother,
broke into their rooms and forcefully had carnal knowledge of them.

They said that they decided to ``let the cat out of the bag'' because of their fear of becoming pregnant for their father.They, therefore, sought for the court's protection against further sexual abuses by their father.But in spite of court summons, the father of he two ladies refused to show up.

The judge, Alhaji Salihu Bappah, in adjourning the case, threatened to issue a warrant for the accused's arrest, if he failed to come to court on that date.

Meanwhile, the two women have re-located to their mother's village in Ngelburma, near Dukku.
