He said, “The man whose wife died a long time ago decided to find comfort in the arms of his daughter. Stories has it that he impregnated his daughter two years ago and they had a baby boy.
“The people of the community started investigating the matter when the rumour spread round the entire village.”
The resident who further alleged that the old man had been sleeping with his daughter prior to the death of his wife, regretted the consequences of their actions.
“Fresh palm fronds were tied round the man’s neck and his daughter’s legs as signs that they had engaged in an abominable act,” he added.
