A 39 years old man, Mfon Jeremiah, a resident of FIRRO Estate off Adesan, Mowe, Ogun State, has been arrested by men of Ogun State Police Command for impregnating his 13 years old biological daughter.
The suspect was arrested following a report lodged at Mowe divisional headquarters by the mother of the victim who reported that she discovered that her daughter was pregnant. When she inquired from the daughter, she was informed that it was her father who slept with her.
The victim was taken to the hospital where it was confirmed that she was four months pregnant.
Following the report, the DPO Mowe division, a Superintendent of Police (SP) Folake Afeniforo, quickly detailed detectives to the suspect’s house where he was promptly arrested.
