At the Ogun State Police Command, a 39-year-old father named Mfon Jeremiah was taken into custody on suspicion of having a 13-year-old daughter.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect, who lives in FIRRO Estate off Adesan, Mowe in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state, was arrested following a police report from his wife, according to a statement released on Friday.
Oyeyemi revealed that the victim’s mother reported the incident to the Mowe divisional headquarters, which led to the suspect’s arrest.
The girl’s unidentified mother claimed that when she inquired about her 13-year-old daughter, she learned that she was pregnant and that her father, Jeremiah, had slept with her.
According to Akahi News, the victim’s four-month pregnancy was confirmed at the hospital, and the DPO Mowe division’s SP Folake Afeniforo immediately dispatched detectives to the suspect’s residence to make an immediate arrest.
During interrogation, the suspect admitted that he was the one who caused his daughter to become pregnant and claimed to be under a spell.
“he was dreaming of having sex with his wife, who had separated from him for some time now only to discover that it was his daughter that he was sleeping with,” he told the police.
However, according to the state Police PRO, the suspect has been transferred to the state Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department’s anti-human trafficking and child labor unit for additional investigation and possible prosecution.
