Man arrested for rapping 12-year-old daughter in Ogun

A Nigerian father, Ubong Williams Akpan, 49, has been arrested by the Ogun State police command, for defiling his 12-year-old daughter.

It was gathered that Akpan, a resident of Itele, Ota, has been having unlawful carnal knowledge of his own biological daughter for more than five years.

According to the police, Akpan was arrested for the act which he allegedly began since his daughter was seven.

The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, revealed in a statement that the suspect was arrested following a report lodged at Itele Ota divisional headquarters by the victim, who reported that her father had been abusing her sexually since when she was seven years old.

The statement partly read; “On interrogation, he confessed to the commission of the crime, claiming that his wife is appearing too old, and she is no longer looking attractive to him.

“Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Edward Awolowo Ajogun, has ordered the immediate transfer of the case to the family support unit of Ota area command for further investigation and prosecution.

“He also directed that the victim be taken to the general hospital for proper medical treatment.”
