Father arrested for defiling his 13-year-old daughter

Men of the Lagos State Police Command have arrested a 42-year-old man for allegedly defiling his daughter for three years in the Ikorodu area of Lagos, Nigeria.

“The man has been defiling the girl since she was 10 years old,” according to reports.

The victim’s teachers noticed her strange behaviours and reported to the principal who in turn handed her over to the school’s Imam for counselling.

It was during one of the sessions with the Imam that the 13-year-old girl opened up that her father had been defiling her for three years.

“The last time the father slept with her was on October 2, 2023. As if that was not enough, she said her father kept encouraging her to have a boyfriend,” she added.

“The suspect is in custody and the girl has been taken for medical examinations. Investigations are also ongoing,” the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said.
