Police have arrested a village head, Rasheed Sholabi, who is the Baale of Oose Agbedu Ajibawo, in Owode-Yewa zone of Ogun State, for having unlawful coitus with of his 115-year-old biological daughter (name withheld).
NEWSGIST discovered that the Baale was arrested following a report by the little girl at Owode Egbado police headquarters.
The Ogun State Police Image Maker, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident to NEWSGIST on Thursday.
As indicated by Oyeyemi, the little girl had revealed that her dad had been engaging in sexual relations with her since when she was eleven years of age.
The ugly incident has affected the daughter as she now finds it difficult to control her urinary system, it was said.
The victim reportedly told the police that she lost her mother when she was barely two years old, adding that the suspect did not allow her to know any relation of her late mother and she was left with no option, other than to continue staying with her father, who eventually used that opportunity to sexually abuse her from time to time.
“Upon the report, the DPO Owode-Egbado, SP Olabisi Elebute, quickly led her men to the place where the Baale was promptly arrested.
“On interrogation, he first denied the allegation, but when he was confronted by the victim and one of his ex-wives, who corroborated the victim’s statement, the suspect fainted and was taken to the hospital for resuscitation,”
Oyeyemi revealed.
He included that the ex-wife had informed the police that she discovered the town head red-handed while having sex with his daughter, saying that was the reason she left him.
He informed that the casualty has been taken to Stella Obasanjo Motherless Babies Home in Abeokuta for safety.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Edward A. Ajogun has ordered the transfer of the suspect to the anti-human trafficking and child labor unit of the State CIID for investigation and prosecution.
