The police in Ogun State have arrested a 71-year-old landlord, identified simply as Adesina, for allegedly defiling and impregnating his tenant’s 14-year-old girl (name withheld) at Akegbeyale Street in Ifesowapo, Akute, Ifo Local Government Area of the state.
According to the Punch, the suspect was caught having sexual intercourse with the victim on April 9, 2024, in the bathroom of the house.
Police sources said the victim went to the bathroom to take a shower and the accused landlord followed her there and forced his way on her before he was caught in the act.
After this shocking discovery, some members of the community and other neighbours who witnessed the scene raised the alarm, leading to the arrest of the landlord by the men of the Ajuwon Police Division.
The victim was subsequently taken to the hospital to be tested for any infection and get treated. Further tests showed she was six weeks pregnant.
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson for the state Police Command, SP Omolola Odutola, said the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, where all parties would be grilled.
“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 said.
