The incident came to light after the victim became sick and emaciated.
The girl’s mother took her to a hospital for a medical examination and the result revealed she had been infected with HIV.
Human rights activist, Comrade Israel Joe, who handled the case, confirmed the latest development on a Facebook post on Monday, September 15, 2025.
According to Joe, the man d!ed on Sunday, September 14 after falling sick.
“Rest in Hell, dear David. HIV infected man who defiled his 10 years old daughter and sodomised his 6 years old son, díęd yesterday in custody. His case was reported to me in March by his wife, how he allegedly defiled his 10 years old daughter and sodomised his 6 years old son. This man has HIV/AIDS and felt that his daughter should be his s*x toy,” he wrote.
“We swung into action and got him arrested. He was sorry and admitted to the wife that he really did it with his daughter in a voicenote, and the woman was heartbroken. You gave the disease to your wife and still proceeded with your daughter. I was hell-bent on getting justice. The family begged, but off course, I am too stubborn to compromise on issues of injustice.
“He was to be granted bail last month, and I had to call the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Justice to express my dissatisfaction with the state counsel in Otu-Jeremi handling the case. In the end, he was denied bail, and the case adjourned to October. The disease had eaten deep into him, though.
“The tragic news came in yesterday from Okere Prisons that he took ill and was rushed to the hospital where he later díęɗ. I am sorry not to have listened to the family as the complainant of the matter, but I feel no sorry for him as he got what he deserves.
“I remembered how his sister came online to insult me only to apologise later after the backlash. End of Litigation.”
