A father of three girls in Abidjan, Ivory Coast has shocked internet users — after confessing live on TV to having slept with his three daughters for several years after the death of his wife.
He admitted this on a live TV Program called “Point D’accord” aired on Ivory Coast’s LMTV.
In the presence of two of his daughters who accused him, he admitted that “I am not proud of what I am going to say, but I admit. What they have said is the truth. I slept with my daughters because I found their late mother’s features in them.”
His confession came after two of his daughters, who have suffered abuse at his hands threw the bombshell on the live TV show.
“Tell them, Papa, what you have been doing to us, tell them why you have been sleeping with us… what did we do to deserve so much hate and hurt from you? what is my sister’s crime? where did we go wrong papa,” one of the rape victims said in tears.
‘No Other Woman Appealed To Me’
In his confession, this father of three said he “couldn’t get involved with another woman after their mum died. Out of the love I had for her, I had to turn on my daughters… I couldn’t love anyone else,” he declared without shame.
Having nurtured the girls up to maturity, 17 years after his wife passed away, he suddenly developed erotic feelings toward his daughters.
“I took care of them from a very young age when their mum died. But my close proximity with my daughters made me start seeing visible traits of their mother in each of them,” he said, trying to justify himself.
‘Been Victim Of Abuse Myself’
In what the abusive father described as the untold secret of his childhood, he also confessed to have suffered abuse from his uncle at a young age.
He added that he couldn’t muster the courage to speak out.
“I bore this burden in my mind and never revealed it to anyone, not even to my wife knew, till she died. When she passed, I resolved never to get intimate with any other woman because I loved her too much,” he explained.
Two of his daughters who he had abused, Astride and Véronique were in tears as the man shamefully narrated his ordeals.
‘I Am Sorry’
Dejected and remorseful about his action, he went down on his knees and begged for his children’s forgiveness.
“All I want today is for you two to find a place in your hearts to forgive me. I want you to know that I never did any of those to destroy your future. I am deeply ashamed of what I did and I ask you to forgive me,” he said while on his knees.
“If God can pardon us, who are not to do same for you? But we can no longer live in the same house,” said Astride, his eldest daughter.
