Abiodun Oladapo
By Our Reporter
The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 43-year-old man, Abiodun Oladapo for impregnating his 19-year-old biological daughter and threatening to kill her should their sexual escapades leak out to anyone.
The incident, which occurred in Mowe, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the State, also involved one Ms Oluwatoyin Idowu, a divorcee and mother of two.
Reports indicated that it was Oluwatoyin, who informed the Police about the unfortunate development when her only son, Michael, was about to be implicated in the matter.
According to the reports, the randy father, Abiodun, had been sleeping with the 19-year-old daughter since February 2022 when the girl started living with him following his separation from her mother.
The Police said upon discovering that the daughter was five months pregnant for him, Abiodun allegedly ordered her to implicate Ms Idowu’s only son, Michael Idowu, whom she only had intercourse with about three months ago, as being responsible for the pregnancy.
But worried and angry at the turn of events, Ms Idowu reported the matter to the Police at the Mowe Divisional Police Headquarters after she purportedly interrogated her son “and discovered that the victim was not saying the truth.”
Confirming Abiodu’s arrest, the Command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the victim (name withheld) confided in the Police that though she slept with Michael Idowu in December 2022, her father was responsible for the pregnancy.
Oyeyemi said the victim also told the Police that her father has been sleeping with her since February 2022 with threat to kill her if she ever informed anyone about the unholy act.
The PPRO further stated that; “Upon her confession, the Divisional Police Officer (D.P.O) in charge of Mowe Division, SP Folake Afeniforo, detailed detectives to go after the randy father and he was subsequently arrested.”
SP Oyeyemi said; “On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crime but blamed it on the devil”, adding; “Preliminary investigation revealed that Abiodun, who had long separated with the victim’s mother, took custody of the girl when her mother remarried and they have been living together since then.”
The Command’s Spokesperson said the Commissioner of Police, Frank Mba, has already directed that the suspect be transferred to State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for further investigation and possible prosecution.
