The police in Ogun State have arrested a 71-year-old landlord identified simply as Adesina for allegedly defiling and impregnating his tenant’s daughter at Akegbeyale Street in Ifesowapo Akute, Ifo Local Government Area.
Reports said that the septuagenarian was caught having sexual intercourse with the 14-year-old girl in the bathroom.
The minor, according to reports, went to the bathroom to take a shower, but the landlord later barged into the same bathroom and allegedly defiled her.
He was reportedly caught in the act by some residents, leading to his arrest by police operatives from Ajuwon Divisional Headquarters.
It was further gathered that when the father took the minor to the hospital for medical examination, it was discovered that she was already pregnant.
Police spokesman, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident, saying the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
She said: “The landlord has been arrested and detained. The father reported that he was caught defiling his 14-year-old daughter in their bathroom in the morning. The teenager was taken to Tamara Hospital in Akute for a medical examination.
“However, the medical report further showed that that wasn’t a first-time act because the test showed that the teenager was already six weeks pregnant. The state CID in Eleweran will soon take up the matter for further investigation,” she added.
