Incest is fast assuming heights of notoriety in Nigeria as another father this time from Ogun State, a village Christian cleric, has turned his daughter to a live-in lover and impregnated her a third time.
The 44-year-old Oluwafemi Oyebola, Pastor of Ogo Oluwa parish of Christ Apostolic Church at Owode in Yewa area of the state, has equally procured several abortions for her.
PerSecondnews gathered that the exploitative incest became the lot of the girl from age 19 years when her mother died, with the frisky father turning her virtually to his “wife”.
Following a complaint by his daughter who reported at Owode Divisional Police headquarters that her father had been forcefully having carnal knowledge of her since 2015 when she was 19 years old, the randy pastor was arrested.
Narrating her ordeal to the police, she said she got pregnant for her father three times and took her to a nurse where the pregnancies were evacuated.
After the third abortion, the father did family planning for her to prevent pregnancy.
Confirming the incident, the State Police Command spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the man was already in their custody.
He said:“Having realized that her father is all out to ruin her life, she ran away from the house and reported to an NGO ‘‘Advocacy For Children And Vulnerable Persons Network’’ consequent upon which she was taken to Owode-Egbado (now Yewa) police station to complain.
“Upon the report, the DPO Owode-Egbado division, SP Olabisi Elebute led her detectives to the pastor’s house where he was promptly arrested”.
“On interrogation, the suspect made confessional statement that all what his daughter said is nothing but the whole truth.”
Oyeyemi said the Police Commissioner, Mr Kenneth Ebrimson, has ordered the transfer of the suspect to anti-human trafficking and child labor unit of the State Criminal Investigation and lntelligence Department in Abeokuta.
He said further investigation into the crime continues, adding that the father-husband will be prosecuted on conclusion of investigations.
