Ayinde
Contrary
to reports, the music video producer recently convicted for raping his
daughters, Aswad Ayinde, is American and not a Nigerian, writes CHUX OHAI
Emerging feelers indicate that the
award-winning music video producer, Aswad Ayinde, who was allegedly
sentenced to 90 years in jail in the USA for fathering six children with
his own daughters, is not a Nigerian after all.
Ayinde, whose real name is believed to
be either Eric McGill or Charles McGill, has been described as a
‘misguided’ Afrocentric American who, in the process of tracing his
roots back to Africa, decided to adopt a Nigerian name. He is an
American citizen and a resident of Paterson, New Jersey.
A controversy appears to surround the
actual identity of the shamed producer on social media. Just as various
reports identify him as Eric McGill, a quick check online shows that
Ayinde was mentioned in a story published by True Crime Report as Charles McGill.
About three years ago, the self-styled
‘doomsday’ prophet’s former wife, Beverly, in what seemed like a
damning testimony, told a North Jersey court that he raped his daughters
and impregnated three of them after declaring that the world was coming
to an end and his offspring would be the sole survivors.
“He was having regular relationships with all the girls,” she said, adding that she was too afraid to fight back.
Beverly said Ayinde’s children were not allowed to attend school outside their home and no doctor was permitted to see them.
She said her former husband delivered his grandchildren himself with her assistance and there were no birth certificates.
Beverly was not named as a victim in the
sexual assault charges against Ayinde, but she said members of his
family were all subject to brutal beatings, often deprived food and
threatened with death.
In all, five of Ayinde’s daughters were
allegedly raped. Four of the alleged victims were the daughters of
Beverly. According to the witnesses, he threatened to kill the entire
family, if anyone revealed his activities.
In the first trial, Ayinde faced counts
of aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, lewdness, child
endangerment, aggravated criminal sexual contact and criminal sexual
contact.
He was found guilty in his latest trial
of having intercourse with one of his daughters when she was only
eight-years-old. The second sentence adds to the 40 year sentence that
he received in a 2011 trial for sexually assaulting a separate daughter.
A report posted on NBC, New York said
that in the latest trial, it was revealed that Ayinde sexually
assaulted his daughters for almost 30 years. The crimes were perpetrated
in numerous homes across northern New Jersey, even while the family was
under the watch of state child welfare investigators.
Described as a ‘depraved parent with a
Messianic complex’, Ayinde’s actions have also fuelled speculations on
social media that he might belong to a dangerous secret cult. Apart from
subjecting his victims to torture, it is suspected that he must have
hypnotised or cast a spell through magical means to keep them from
exposing his dark secrets.
