Men of the Lagos State Police Command on Monday, arrested a 42-year-old resident of Ikorodu area of the state, Babatunde Afolayan, for allegedly defiling his daughter for three years.
Osun Defender gathered that the suspect had been defiling the girl since she was 10 years old.
The medium learnt that the victim’s teachers noticed her strange behaviours in school and reported to the principal who in turn handed her over to the school’s Imam for counselling.
The 13-year-old girl opened up that her father had been defiling her for three years during one of the sessions with the Imam.
According to a source in the school who spoke on condition of anonymity, “It happened that the girl just started misbehaving in school that no teacher knew what to do. So, the matter was reported to the school principal who then decided that she should go for counselling with the school’s Imam.

“She also said the last time the father slept with her was on October 2, 2023. As if that was not enough, she said her father kept encouraging her to have a boyfriend.”
