A 48-year-old father, Femi Onifade, arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in Ondo State for sexually defiling his two daughters, has revealed that he usually drugged them in order to put them to sleep before he would engage them in the dastardly act.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the victims, who are aged 6 and 9, lived with him at their No. 27 Liberty Hospital Road, Oluwatuyi, Akure, the state capital.
The officials of the State Chapter of the NSCDC effected his arrest at his residence following complaints from his neighbours to the traditional ruler of Akure land, the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi.
The monarch, according to source, was said to have handed the suspect over to officials of the NSCDC after he escaped from the palace.
