Father raped daughter, son raped sister, court hears
A family court in Ibadan, on Tuesday, ordered the remand of Michael Ayinde, 51 and his son, Abiola Ayinde, 19, for allegedly raping his daughter and the latter, his sister.
The magistrate, O.O Ogunkanmi, who did not take the defendants’ pleas, ordered their remand at the Abolongo correctional facility, Oyo town.
The defendants, the father and older brother of the complainant, allegedly committed the offence at their residence in the Agboti Olosan area, Alakia, Ibadan.
Ms Ogunkanmi said remanding the father and son in custody would allow the court to await the outcome of legal advice from the Oyo State Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
After that, she adjourned the matter until February 21 for mention.
The prosecution counsel, Gbemisola Adedeji, told the court that the younger Mr Ayinde, the complainant’s brother, between 2021 and December 2023, allegedly had unlawful sexual intercourse with his younger sister.
The prosecutor said Mr Abiola allegedly impregnated her without her consent, while their father, Mr Ayinde, also between 2021 and December 2023, allegedly had unlawful carnal knowledge of his 17-year-old daughter without her consent.
She said the offence contravened section 34 of the Oyo State Child Rights Law, 2006.
