A father and son who allegedly impregnated his wife’s 13-year-old niece, have been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command.
The suspects identified as 44-year-old Kabiru Oke, and 19-year-old Faruq, defiled the underage girl at No 1 Olatikupo Street, Egbeda, Lagos, where she lived with them. The father and son who impregnated his wife’s 13-year-old niece, were arrested after the mother of the victim made a complaint on March 27, 2019. The State’s Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Bala Elkana, said;
“The victim lived with the perpetrators for a couple of years. The affairs between the minor and Kabiru started on 20th October, 2018, with the suspect having constant sexual intercourse with her.
However, Faruq started having unlawful carnal knowledge of the same minor on 10th January 2019. The suspects have constantly threatened to kill the victim if she ever tells anybody about the affairs.”
The sad act was uncovered after the mother of the girl noticed changes in her and also discovered she was pregnant. The father and son who were arraigned before a Magistrate Court 2 in Ogba for defilement were remanded at Kirikiri prison, while the case was adjourned till May 13, 2019. It was further gathered that the girl’s mother is the younger sister of the man’s wife.
