Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command arrested a 28-year-old man, Adeyemi Babatunde, on May 22, 2023, for allegedly having unlawful carnal knowledge of his 5-year-old biological daughter (name withheld).
The suspect was arrested following a complaint lodged at Ijebu Mushin divisional headquarters by the mother of the victim, who reported that she noticed her daughter has been complaining of pain whenever she wants to urinate or wash her private parts.
Having noticed this, she pressurized the little girl to tell her what happened to her private parts.
It was then that the victim informed her that her father had laid her on the bed and inserted her manhood into her private part when the mother was not at home.
Upon receiving the report, the DPO of the Ijebu Mushin division, CSP Simire Hillary, quickly detailed his detectives to go after the suspect, and he was eventually arrested.
On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime but claimed not to know what came over him at that time.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Olanrewaju Oladimeji, has ordered that the suspect be transferred to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labor Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and prosecution.
