Police Arrest Father for Impregnating Daughter, Falsely Accusing Boyfriend

Operatives of Ogun State Police Command arrested a 43-year-old man Abiodun Oladapo for allegedly impregnating a 19-year-old girl (name withheld).

Abiodun was arrested on March 24 following a complaint lodged at Mowe divisional headquarters by one Oluwatoyin Idowu, who reported that her son Michael Idowu was wrongly accused of impregnating the victim and that she has properly interrogated her son and discovered that the victim was not saying the truth.

According to the spokesperson of the state police command, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the victim who is five months pregnant was invited by the police upon getting the report, and when she got to the station, she confided in the police that though Michael Idowu slept with her in December 2022, it was her father Abiodun Oladapo who is responsible for her pregnancy.

She stated further that her father had been sleeping with her since February 2022 threatening to kill her if she informed anybody about it.

‘’According to the victim, when it was discovered that she is pregnant, her father asked her to lie against Michael Idowu of being responsible for the pregnancy. Upon her confession, the DPO Mowe division, SP Folake Afeniforo detailed detectives to go after the randy father, and he were subsequently arrested.  On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime but blamed it on the devil.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect who had long separated from the victim’s mother took custody of the girl when her mother remarried and they  have been living together since then.”

The statement revealed that the State Commissioner of Police, CP Frank Mba, has directed that the suspect be transferred to State Criminal Investigation Departments for further investigation and possible prosecution.
