The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Abimbola Oyeyemi, said: “On interrogation, he confessed to the commission of the crime, claiming that his wife is appearing too old, and she is no longer looking attractive to him,” Oyeyemi said.
He disclosed that the suspect was arrested on Friday, April 2, following a report lodged at Itele Ota Divisional Police Headquarters by the victim.
The girl had reported at the police station that her father had been abusing her sexually since when she was seven years.
She added that this has been going on for the past five years, and when she could no longer bear it, she decided to complain to the police.
Upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Itele-Ota Division, CSP Monday Unoegbe, detailed his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.
