A 45 years old man, Akanji Oluwaseyi, has been arrested by the police for forcefully having carnal knowledge of her 13 years old daughter (name withheld).
The arrest of the suspect followed a complaint from the victim.
According to the spokesman of the police in Ogun State, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the girl reported at Obantoko divisional headquarters on December 30, 2020 that her father came to the shop where she is a tailoring apprentice and begged her mistress to permit her to come and fetch water for him at home.
She stated further that she left the shop and fetched water as requested by her father.
But surprisingly, her father suddenly grabbed her and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her.
On the strength of the report, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Obantoko division, CSP Sunday Opebiyi, quickly detailed his detectives to the man’s house where he was promptly arrested.
He initially denied the allegation but when he was confronted by her daughter, he became dumb-founded.
The victim was quickly taken to Olukoya hospital for medical attention.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Edward A. Ajogun has ordered the immediate transfer of the case to anti human trafficking and child labour unit of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and prosecution.
