A 41-year-old father has been detained by Ogun State police for engaging in an illicit sexual act with his 12-year-old biological daughter (name withheld) in the state’s Yewa-North local government area.
The suspect, named Aliu Ibrahim, was taken into custody on Thursday after his estranged wife, Egbebi Temitope, filed a complaint. Aliu Ibrahim resides in the Papa Olosun region of Oja-Odan.
Temitope had said that each time the victim spent the holidays with her father, he was sexually aware of her, according to police spokeswoman Omolola Odutola.
Odutola claims that Temitope revealed the information when she brought the girl to the State Hospital in Ilaro for an examination and infection treatment.
Odutola said, “On Thursday at about 1410hrs, one Egbebi Temitope “f” of Papa Olosun area of Oja-Odan reported an immoral behaviour of her estranged husband one Aliu Ibrahim “m” 41 years old of the same Papa Olosun area of Oja-Odan. He was discovered to have been having unlawful carnal knowledge of their 12-year-old daughter.
“He defiled her since about two years ago each time the innocent girl went to spend holiday with him.
“The sexual assault was discovered when she took the girl to State Hospital, Ilaro for examination and treatment over untreated vaginal discharge that has been occurring in the little child’s reproductive organ for an unknown period.”
She mentioned that the father, who was accused of being a paedophile, was detained and admitted to the crime during questioning.
According to the PRO, a preliminary investigation is now underway, and once it is concluded, the suspect will be forwarded to the state criminal investigation agency for additional examination and prosecution.
