The Ogun State Police Command on Sunday said it arrested a 49-year-old father, Amoda Bola, who allegedly had carnal knowledge of his 14-year-old daughter and impregnated her.
Bola was also alleged to have invited some
yet-to-be-identified men to his house to defile his daughter and received
payment from the men for his service.
The state Police Public Relations Officer,
SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement on Sunday, said the suspect was arrested
following a complaint received from his daughter.
Oyeyemi said the victim reported at the Ode
Remo Police Station that her father, whom she had been living with for some
years, had been having carnal knowledge of her.
Oyeyemi, however, revealed that the
confession of the suspect during interrogation led to the arrest of five
others, who had slept with the victim at different times on the invitation of
the father.
The PPRO said, “The suspects are
Ahmed Ogunkoya; Muyiwa Adeoye; David Solaja; Emmanuel Olusanya, and Joshua
Olaniran. All the suspects have confessed having carnal knowledge of the
14-year-old girl and paid money to the father.
“The victim, whose mother had separated
from the father years back, had been living with her father, who practically
turned her into a commercial prostitute. She has been taken to a state hospital
in Ishara-Remo, where it was confirmed that she is pregnant.
“The victim has insisted that her father is
responsible for the pregnancy being the only person who slept with her within
the period she got pregnant.”
Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of
Police, Lanre Bankole, had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspects to
the Anti Humans Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the state Criminal
Investigation Department for discreet investigation and possible prosecution.
