Lagos – A 53-year-old man is now cooling his feet in police custody in Lagos over alleged defilement of three of his children.
The suspect, Olusegun Adefemi, was accused of defiling his 3 years old daughter and the siblings who are 5 and 7 years old.
Paraded on Monday, along other criminal suspects, the State Commissioner of Police Edgal Imohimi said the arrest of the suspect followed a complain on 2nd Feb. 2018 by a Neighborhood Corps officer.
His words, “The suspect had separated from his wife for marital issues and had been in custody of the children for sometime. When the arrest was made and the children rescued, the 3 years old daughter had sustained injury on her private part due to forceful penetration”.
“The two other siblings were also abused by the suspect who is their father. Whenever they refuse him penetration through their anus, he beats them. The girl had been taken to a hospital for examination and treatment while the other two had been placed in temporary home”, he said.
The CP further warned parents and guardians to be extra careful when catering for female children.
The suspect however denied abusing his children saying that he doesn’t know why they are lying against him. “I don’t abuse them. I usually drop them with my neighbors when am going out as I can just sit at home and expect food to come”.
“Only God will judge who is lying as I don’t know why my children are also lying on me”, he said.
