A man who allegedly made a habit of raping his 21-year-old daughter in the Papa Olosun area of Oja-Odan, Ogun State has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command.
The suspect, 45-year-old Idowu Owolabi, was arrested by the Oja-Odan Police Division on Tuesday following a complaint by the alleged victim.
The victim said her father began to sleep with her forcefully in March 2018 when she went to assist him on his farm.
She said, “He forcefully had carnal knowledge of me and threatened to kill me if I told anyone. On the way home, he begged me and promised to give me whatever I wanted.
“Since then, it has been from one sexual molestation to another. He would forcefully penetrate me at home, whenever he wanted. I got fed up of the whole matter and decided to report to the Police,”
Confirming the arrest, the command’s spokesman DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said that the suspect had confessed to the crime but blamed the devil for pushing him into it.
“Upon receipt of the complaint, the DPO Oja-Odan, CSP Olayemi Jacob, led detectives to the suspect’s residence where he was promptly arrested.
“Upon interrogation, the suspect confessed to the commission of the crime, but blames it all on devil.
“Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu, has ordered the immediate transfer of the case to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, for proper investigation and possible prosecution of the suspect,” he said.
