Police Arrest Father For Impregnating 19-Year-old daughter
A 43 years old man, Abiodun Oladapo, has been arrested by Ogun State Police Command for impregnating his 19 year-old daughter.
The man was arrested on Friday following a complaint lodged at Mowe Divisional headquarters by one Oluwatoyin Idowu.
Idowu reported that her son, Michael Idowu, was wrongly accused of impregnating the girl, and that she had properly interrogated her son and discovered that the victim was not saying the truth.
Upon the report, the girl who is five months pregnant was invited, and when she got to the station, she confided in the police that though Michael Idowu slept with her in December 2022, it was her father Abiodun Oladapo, who is responsible for her pregnancy.
She discussed that her father had been sleeping with her since February 2022, and threatened to kill her if she informed anybody about it.
The girl further disclosed that when it was discovered that she was pregnant, her father asked her to lie that Michael Idowu was responsible for the pregnancy.
Upon her confession, the Divisional Police Officer, Mowe, SP Folake Afeniforo, directed detectives to arrest the father.
On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime but blamed it on the devil.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect who had long separated with the victim’s mother, took custody of the girl when her mother remarried and they had been living together since then.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Frank Mba, has directed that the suspect be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and possible prosecution.
