Police detain father, friend for impregnating teenage stepdaughter
The Lagos Police Command has detained a 38-year-old man and his 30-year-old friend for allegedly defiling and impregnating his 14-year-old stepdaughter.
The command’s spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
He said the suspects allegedly conspired to sexually defile the girl in the Okokomaiko area of the state.
Mr Hundeyin said the survivor’s mother reported the case on Friday at the Okokomaiko Police Division.
“The survivor’s mother said that her daughter was defiled by her husband and his friend. The survivor is now carrying a nine-month pregnancy.
“The case was transferred from Okokomaiko police division to the Gender Unit Ikeja,” the police spokesperson said.
According to Mr Hundeyin, the case will be charged to court as soon as the investigation is concluded.
