Police arrest father of four for defiling friend’s 10-year-old daughter
The Police Command in Lagos has arrested a 34-year-old man, Godwin Iroro, for defiling his friend’s 10-year-old daughter.
The command’s spokesperson, Adekunle Ajisebutu, on Saturday in Lagos, said the suspect was arrested on November 25, following a complaint at the Ajegunle Divisional Police Headquarters by the victim’s father, Chukwudi Chime.
He said that Mr Chime, who noticed the unusual and awkward movements of his daughter, probed to know what happened to her.
“The little girl, when questioned, disclosed that her father’s friend, a father of four who also lives in the same house at 5, Iyalode Street, Ajegunle, Lagos, had carnal knowledge of her when her father was not at home.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that both men are separated from their wives. While the victim lives with her father at the above address, the suspect’s four children live with their mother in Asaba, Delta State.
“The suspect, upon interrogation, confessed to the crime but blamed it on the devil. He also confessed to have sexually abused the little girl only twice before the evil was uncovered.
“Angered by the beastly attitude of the paedophile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, immediately directed that he should be transferred to the Gender Unit of the Police Command for discreet investigation and diligent prosecution.
“The CP warns such licentious men who would not keep their restless manhoods in check to desist from such contemptible act or face the grave consequences,” the command spokesperson added.
