Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested a septuagenarian landlord, identified simply as Adesina, for allegedly defiling and impregnating his tenant’s 14-year-old girl (name withheld) at Akegbeyale Street in Ifesowapo Akute, Ifo Local Government Area of the state.
It was gathered the septuagenarian suspect was caught on Tuesday while having sexual intercourse with the 14-year-old girl at about 10:15pm in the house bathroom.
According to reports, the minor was said to have made her way to the apartment’s bathroom to take a shower and a few seconds later, the landlord was said to have gained entrance into the same bathroom and was believed to be having sexual intercourse with the teenager before he was caught in the act.
It was learnt that some members of the community and other neighbours who witnessed the scene raised the alarm, leading to the arrest of the landlord by the men of the Ajuwon Police Division.
The father of the minor, upon advice by the police and others on the need for the victim to be treated to avoid any infection, was said to have taken the 14-year-old girl to the hospital for medical examination.
However, the result of the test was said to have indicated that the minor was about six weeks pregnant.
Confirming the incident on Wednesday, the spokesperson for the state Police Command, Omolola Odutola, said the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, where further investigations would be conducted.
