Father turns daughter to prostitute, impregnates teenager

A 49-year-old man, Amoda Bola, has been arrested for allegedly impregnating his 14-year-old biological daughter (name withheld).

The suspect was arrested on Wednesday, August 17 in Ode Remo area of the state.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of Ogun State Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the arrest of the suspect to journalists in Abeokuta on Sunday.

Oyeyemi said the suspect was arrested following a complaint received from the victim by police operatives of Ode Remo divisional headquarters.

He said the victim also accused her father of inviting men to his house to have sex with his daughter after which he was paid.

“Upon the report, the DPO Ode Remo division, CSP Olayemi Fasogbon detailed his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.

“On interrogation, the suspect, who initially denied the allegations later confessed when the victim confronted him.

“His confession led to the arrest of five others who had slept with the victim at different times on the invitation of the father,” the PPRO said.

He listed the other suspects to include: Ahmed Ogunkoya (30), Muyiwa Adeoye (48), David Sunday Solaja (69), Emmanuel Olusanya (50) and Joshua Olaniran (50).

The police spokesman added that the suspects had all confessed to having carnal knowledge of the victim.

The PPRO said that the mother of the victim had separated from the father.
