The trouble started back in March 2025. David's wife went to Comrade Israel Joe, a well-known human rights fighter, with her worries. She said her husband had done something very wrong. He had sex with their 10-year-old daughter and hurt their 6-year-old son in a bad way. Since David had HIV, he passed the sickness to his daughter. His wife was broken-hearted when she found out.
Israel Joe did not wait around. He took action right away and got the police involved. They arrested David, and he even sent a voice message to his wife saying he did it. The family tried to beg for mercy, but Joe wanted justice for the children. He made sure the case went to court. Last month, David was almost let out on bail, but Joe called people in the Ministry of Justice to stop it. The court said no to bail, and the trial was set for October.
David's health was very bad because of the HIV. On Sunday, he got sick in prison. The guards rushed him to a hospital, but he died there. Comrade Israel Joe shared the news on his Facebook page. He said he felt bad for not listening to the family at first, but he had no regrets for the man. David's sister had even come online to shout at Joe, but she said sorry later after others spoke against her.
The children are now getting help and care. The daughter has HIV and needs treatment. The son is also hurt, but they are both away from harm. The police and courts in Delta State handled the case with care. This event shows how important it is to protect kids from such dangers. Many people around the world are talking about it, hoping for better safety for families everywhere.
