The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a landlord identified as Bola Tobiloba for allegedly defiling his tenant’s 14-year-old daughter.
The incident took place last Friday in the Arinlese area of Abeokuta.
The spokesperson for the state police command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on Tuesday.
She stated that the incident left other tenants and the entire community in shock when the survivor was found drenched in blood from her private parts, noting that the suspect would face the full force of the law.
She said, “The survivor’s father reported the incident to the Adatan Police Division at approximately 2:15 p.m. on September 13, 2024. The landlord is accused of assaulting his 14-year-old daughter.
“The girl suffered a tear in her private area, resulting in the bleeding. When our officers arrived at the scene, they found blood on the floor, believed to be from the survivor.
“Blood was also found on the clothing she was wearing. She was promptly taken to the hospital for medical treatment. The suspect has been arrested and is currently in custody.”
A report on September 3, 2024, detailed an incident in which a 55-year-old man, Hassan Wasiu, allegedly defiled his neighbour’s 13-year-old daughter at his apartment on Falowo Street, Makun, in the Sagamu area of the state.
The survivor’s grandfather, Bimbo Ojo, who reported the incident to the Sagamu Police Division, had found that his granddaughter was bleeding through her vagina shortly after the perpetrator had committed the crime.
The suspect had allegedly lured the survivor into going into his room to defile her.
