Man defiles 3-yr-old daughter, attempts to sodomise sons

A seven-year-old boy yesterday accused his father of sexually abusing his three-year-old sister and attempting to sodomize him and his five-year-old brother. 

The boy said his father not only abused his sister five times but also attempted to sodomise him and his five-year-old brother, but they refused because the pain was too much. 

In a detailed account of his ordeal he said: “My daddy slept with Favour from here (pointing at the private part of his sister.) He put her on the ground and then he did it. It was not once, it was five times. “He wanted to do my own from the back but I refused. He wanted to do Godspower too. When we refused, he started beating us.” 

Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, said he ordered the arrest of Olusegun Adefemi after he got wind if how he defiled his daughter and attempted to sodomise his two sons. Parading the suspect, the CP said he was arrested at No. 6 Ipakan Street, Ijede, after an official of Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC), Adekoya Sesan, reported the incident. 

The police boss said Adefemi had unsupervised access to his kids as he was separated from his wife over alleged spousal abuse. Imohimi said: “He inflicted grievous injury in the private part of the child as a result of forceful penetration. 

Two older siblings of the survivor were not as lucky as Olusegun Adefemi regularly abused them by beating them with cane each time they resisted him from penetrating them through their anus. 

“The girl has been taken to Mirabel Medical Centre for examination and treatment while her siblings have been placed in temporary home. The suspect would be charged to court at the end of investigation.” However, the suspect who denied the allegations and insisted that he was innocent, said he was shocked his kids could accuse him of wrongdoing. 

He said, “I know I usually beat my kids when they do wrong. I do not think that is an offence because I would not want my children to grow up badly. 

“Their mother left over a year ago and since then, I have been with them. I do bricklaying job sometimes, other times, I work as a conductor to provide our daily bread.”
