A shocking case of abuse and exploitation has come to light in Ogun state, where a father allegedly took advantage of his own daughter over the course of several years. According to the police, 21-year-old Oluwadamilare Ewedemi's daughter reported the horrific incidents, which began in Ijebu Ode in 2019. The survivor, who lost her mother as an infant, was placed in a motherless home in Lagos before her father brought her to Ijebu Ode, claiming to care for her.
The daughter alleged that her father repeatedly subjected her to sexual abuse, resulting in five pregnancies, which he forced her to terminate. The survivor eventually escaped from her father's residence on February 1, 2026, and sought refuge at a local church, where she reported the abuse to the authorities on March 26. The swift response from the Ifo Division of the police command led to the arrest of the suspect, who was apprehended following intelligence gathering by officers under the leadership of Divisional Police Officer, CSP Kamorudeen.
DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, the command's spokesperson, confirmed the arrest and revealed that the suspect is currently in custody. The case has been transferred to the Gender Desk for further investigation and prosecution. This case highlights the need for increased awareness and support for victims of abuse and exploitation.
