A 71-year-old landlord, identified as Adesina, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly defiling and impregnating his tenant’s 14-year-old daughter.
According to reports, the incident occurred at Akegbeyale Street in Ifesowapo Akute, Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
It was gathered that on April 9, 2024, the minor entered the general bathroom used by the tenants in the compound. Shortly after, the septuagenarian landlord allegedly sneaked into the same bathroom.
One of the tenants reportedly caught him having sex with the minor and alerted the neighbors.
According to eyewitnesses, the landlord was arrested by policemen from Ajuwon Police Division while the girl’s father took her to the hospital for a medical examination.
Spokesman for Ogun State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident.
“The landlord has been arrested and detained. The father reported that he was caught defiling his 14-year-old daughter in the bathroom. The teenager was taken to Tamara Hospital in Akute for medical examination.
“The medical report showed that this wasn’t a first-time act because the test showed that the teenager was already six weeks pregnant,” Odutola stated.
At the time of filing this report, the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation.
