Police Arrest Man Who Slept With All His Children

A 7-year-old boy, Wisdom Adefemi, yesterday at the premises of the Lagos State police command, Ikeja, accused his father, Olusegun, of sexually abusing his 3-year-old sister, Favour.

The minor was confirmed the disclosure by the Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, who said he ordered the arrest of Adefemi for allegedly defiling his daughter and attempting to sodomise his two sons.

According to Wisdom, not only did their father slept with hi sister for about 5 times, he also made several attempts to penetrate him and his brother, Godspower, through the anus, but they refused because the pain was too much to bear.

Giving a graphic details of their ordeal, he said:

“My daddy slept with Favour from here (pointing at the private part of his sister.) He put her on the ground and then he did it. It was five times. He wanted to do my own from the back but I refused.

He wanted to do Godspower too. When we refused, he started beating us.”

Parading the suspect, the police boss said he was arrested at No. 6 Ipakan Street, Ijede, after an official of Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC), Adekoya Sesan, reported the incident.

He said Adefemi had unsupervised access to his kids since he was separated from his wife over alleged spousal abuse. But the suspect, who denied the allegation, insisting that he was innocent, said he was shocked his kids could accuse him of wrongdoing.

He said:

“I am shocked at the allegations. I have never done it and I will never do it. I heard that my children accused me of raping their sister. They never said it before me. I thought the police would bring them before me and ask them so that I can hear it from them directly but the police did not.”

Imohimi said the suspect inflicted grievous injury in the private part of the child as a result of forceful penetration. “The girl has been taken to Mirabel Medical Centre for examination and treatment while her siblings have been placed in temporary home. The suspect would be charged to court at the end of investigation.”
