Adeyemi Babatunde, 28, was detained by Ogun State Police Command agents on May 22 for allegedly having illicit sexual knowledge of his 5-year-old biological daughter (name withheld).

The victim’s mother complained to the Ijebu Mushin divisional headquarters that her daughter had been complaining of pain everytime she needed to urinate as well as whenever she was bathing her and touched her private area. This led to the suspect’s arrest. Once she realised this, she put pressure on the little girl to explain what had occurred to her privates. When the mother arrived home, the victim told her that her father had placed her on the bed and had inserted his manhood into her private area.

Upon the report, the DPO Ijebu Mushin division, CSP Simire Hillary, quickly detailed his detectives to go after the suspect and he was eventually arrested. 

On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the commission of the crime but claimed not to know what comes over him as at that time.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the state police command, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the state Commissioner of Police, CP Olanrewaju Oladimeji, has ordered that the suspect be transferred to Anti Human Trafficking and Child Labour section of the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and prosecution.
