A Family Court of Ondo State of Nigeria in Akure on the 17th October 2017 has proven the innocence of Dr. Adefolaju Adeseke of the allegation of incest against him by his wife.
The Magistrate in the judgment said that "It is clear that if not for the fights between the parties in this case, the issue of incest will not arise. If anything at all, parties are advised to shield their swords in the interest of their children. /Mrs. Adeseke's role in the whole Saga is rather appalling and discouraging/.
"We have stated that the conclusion in the legal advice is on all fours and we also conclude that the allegation of the incest against the Respondent is totally unproved. This court believes that the yellowish discharged experienced by Adedolapo is as a result of the genetic health issue of Adedolapo.
"There is no way a child whom an adult had sexual intercourse with will not bleed or have pain coupled with inability to walk.
"Adedolapo and her siblings all corroborated the fact that there was no stain in Adedolapo's pant, not on her body, not even on the bed and that they all left to play in their cousin's house thereafter same day. I hold that the allegation of incest is unproved.
"We adjure Mrs Adeseke to tread the path of peace for the good of her children henceforth. we dismiss the allegation of incest and also hold that neither the Nigerian Police, Ondo State Command nor Ondo State Ministry of Justice has been biased by their involvement or activity in the whole incest saga. Case of incest against Mr. Adeseke Adefolaju is dismissed in its entirety."
