Adebayo Akinrinoye has been arrested by Ogun State Police for having carnal knowledge of his biological daughter, a 16-year-old girl.
The 52-year-old was arrested after a petition from his wife to the Agbado Divisional headquarters.
The daughter revealed in the petition that he has been sleeping with her since the age of 14.
The daughter told Punch:
She said, “My father started ‘sleeping’ (having sex) with me when I was 14-year-old. I resisted him but he told me he was teaching me in the right way. He said if he didn’t teach me, the boys outside would teach me. He did it whenever we were the only ones at home.
“I didn’t tell my mum because I thought she would not believe me. He had slept with me many times. I can’t count the number of times he had sex with me. He did it regularly.”
The victim’s mother recounted how she caught her husband sleeping with their child.
She stated, “I reported the incident to a human rights group in Ikotun (Lagos) and they gave me a letter to report at a police station close to our community and I went to Agbado Police Station. I caught my husband having sex with my daughter about three months ago.
After interrogation, the suspect confessed to committing the crime and begged for forgiveness.
