The Ogun state police has arrested Oluwafemi Oyebola, a
pastor of Christ Apostolic Church, Ogo-Oluwa parish, for allegedly raping and
impregnating his daughter.
The 44-year-old pastor was also said to have had abortions
done on his daughter three times.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, the state police public relations officer,
said the suspect was arrested after his daughter lodged a complaint against him
at Owode-Egbado divisional police headquarters.
He said the victim alleged that her father had been raping
her since 2015 when she turned 19 — shortly after the demise of her mother.
“The victim further reported that she got pregnant for her
father three times after which her father took her to a nurse where those
pregnancies were aborted,” Oyeyemi said.
“After the third abortion, the suspect did family planning
for her so she would not get pregnant again.”
Oyeyemi said the victim later ran away from home and
narrated her ordeal to Advocacy for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network, a
non-governmental organisation, who brought her to the station to report her
father.
“Consequent upon which she was taken to the Owode-Egbado
Police Station to complain,” he said.
“After the report, the DPO Owode-Egbado division, SP Olabisi
Elebute, led her detectives to the pastor’s house where he was promptly
arrested.
“During interrogation, the suspect made confessional statements
that all his daughter said was nothing but the whole truth.”
The police spokesperson said Kenneth Ebrimson, the state
commissioner of police, ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the
anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the state criminal
investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and
prosecution.
