The Lagos State police command has arrested a man identified as
Gbenga Taiwo, for allegedly defiling his daughter.
The 40-year-old man who happens to be a widower and his
15-year-old daughter live together in a rented apartment at Baruwa,
Ipaja area of Lagos State.
Information gathered revealed that the suspect had been
constantly molesting the girl since she was 13 by dipping his
fingers into her private parts.
It was reported that the teenager got tired of her father’s
action and reported him to their landlord who warned Taiwo to
desist from the act.
He allegedly persisted which prompted the girl to report him to
her uncle recently. While the uncle was trying to handle the case
discreetly, a neighbour got wind of it and escalated it.
The case was reported at the Ipaja Police Station and Taiwo was
arrested last Saturday.
The Coordinator of a child rights group following up on the
case, Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network, Mr
Ebenezer Omejalile, noted that Taiwo claimed to have suspected
Folake of going out with men and decided to conduct “a virginity
test” on her with his finger.
He said, “The girl said she had been constantly abused by
her father since she was 13. He is about 40 years old and a retired
electricity worker.”
“Before the intervention of the girl’s maternal uncle, one
Mr Alagba, the girl got tired of the wickedness of her father and
informed their landlord who confronted the father to stop the evil
act and he let him know the consequence of his action.”
But the survivors turned a deaf ear to it and kept doing it
to the extent that whenever he was on night duty, he went to the
office with girl to keep having her to his satisfaction.”

“The man claimed that he saw some pictures in her daughter’s
phone and suspected that she was wayward. He said he did not have
sex with her but only used his finger to check if she is a virgin
or not.”
Taiwo’s relations claimed that he had mental illness in 2018 and
was admitted at a private rehabilitation centre, Ise Oluwa Hospital
in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
A report signed by the hospital’s Medical Director, Dr Kayode
Ojomo, indicated that Taiwo was admitted at the facility on October
1, 2018 “for complaints suggestive of a mild depressive
episode.”
The report added, “He is currently on admission and will be
discharged soon as he has made remarkable improvement.”
“He has been exhibiting strange behaviour inside the
cell. At times, he would just remove his clothes,” a source
said.
The development was confirmed by theP Police Public Relations
Officer in the state, SP Bala Elkana.
He said, “Investigation has commenced on the case and tests
will be carried out on to determine the suspect’s mental
health.”
