The Police in Ogun state has arrested a 71-year-old landlord simply identified as Adesina for allegedly defiling and impregnating his tenant’s 14 years old daughter.
The incident occurred at Akegbeyale Street in Ifesowapo Akute, Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun state.
According to reports, the minor was said to have made her way to the house bathroom to take a shower, but the landlord a few minutes later barged into the same bathroom where he allegedly had sexual intercourse with the minor.
Residents, however, caught him in the act, leading to his arrest by Police operatives.
It was also revealed that the father took the minor to the hospital for medical examination, where it was discovered that she was already pregnant.
State police spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident.
She said the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
She said, “The landlord has been arrested and detained. The father reported that he was caught defiling his 14-year-old daughter in their bathroom in the morning. The teenager was taken to Tamara Hospital in Akute for a medical examination.
“However, the medical report further showed that that wasn’t a first-time act because the test showed that the teenager was already six weeks pregnant. The state CID in Eleweran will soon take up the matter for further investigation.”
