The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 71-year-old landlord, identified only as Adesina, for allegedly defiling and impregnating his tenant’s 14-year-old daughter at Akegbeyale Street in Ifesowapo Akute, Ifo Local Government Area of the state.
According to the PUNCH, residents and other tenants caught the septuagenarian having sexual intercourse with the minor in the house bathroom around 10:15 pm on Tuesday, April 9, 2024.
According to a police source, the teenage girl had gone to the bathroom to take a shower when the landlord gained entrance and was found in the act with her.
“The minor was said to have made her way to the apartment’s bathroom to take a shower. A few seconds later, the landlord was said to have gained entrance into the same bathroom and was believed to be having sexual intercourse with the teenager before he was caught in the act.”
After witnessing the scene, community members and neighbors raised an alarm, leading to the arrest of the landlord by officers from the Ajuwon Police Division.
The father was advised to take his daughter for medical examination, which revealed that the 14-year-old was already six weeks pregnant.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the state Police Command, Omolola Odutola, stated, “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,” Odutola added.
This incident follows a similar case in November 2023, when a 76-year-old man, David Ogunsanwo, was apprehended by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps for allegedly defiling a 16-year-old girl in Abeokuta, who was also reported to be five months pregnant.
