Men of Ogun State Police Command have arrested a 52-year-old man Adebayo Akinrinoye for unlawfully having carnal knowledge of his 16 year old daughter in the Matogun Agbado area of the state.
Akinrinoye was arrested on September 23rd following a report via a written petition brought to Agbado divisional headquarters by the victim, Mercy.
In the petition, the victim alleged that her father had been sexually abusing her since she was 14. She stated further that all her efforts to stop her father from this ignoble act fell on his dead ear hence her report.
According to PUNCH, Mercy said she initially resisted her father’s attempt to have sex with her but he cajoled him into believing that he was teaching him the right thing.
She said, “My father started ‘sleeping’ (having sex) with me when I was 14-year-old. I resisted him but he told me he was teaching me in the right way. He said if he didn’t teach me, the boys outside would teach me. He did it whenever we were the only ones at home.
“I didn’t tell my mum because I thought she would not believe me. He had slept with me many times. I can’t count the number of times he had sex with me. He did it regularly.”
Upon the report, the DPO Agbado division CSP Kehinde Kuranga quickly detailed his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.
On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the commission of the crime but pleaded for forgiveness from his daughter.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the incident, said the commissioner of police CP Edward Awolowo Ajogun has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to family support unit at Ota area command for further investigation and prosecution
