Police arrest man for serial sexual abuse of teenage daughter in Ogun
The Police Command in Ogun has arrested a 52-year-old man, Adebayo Akinrinoye, for having repeated unlawful carnal knowledge of his 16-year-old daughter.
The police spokesperson in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspect, who resides at No. 11 Kabiru Close, Idi Opatun bus stop, Matogun, Agbado, was arrested on September 23, following a written petition by the victim to Agbado Divisional police headquarters.
He added that in the petition, the victim alleged that her father had been sexually abusing her since when she was 14 years old.
She stated further that all her efforts to stop her father from the act fell on deaf ears, hence her reporting him to the police.
“Upon receipt of the report, the Divisional Police Officer, (DPO), Agbado Division, CSP Kehinde Kuranga, quickly detailed detectives to the location where the suspect was promptly arrested.
“On interrogation, the suspect confessed to committing the crime but pleaded for forgiveness from his daughter,” Mr Oyeyemi said.
The Ogun Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun, has ordered further investigation and prosecution.
