Incest: Father Impregnates His Daughter In Oyo

A 42-year-old man, Segun Oderinde reportedly impregnated his 16-year-old daughter, in Gboro Compound, Igbeti, Olorunsogo Local Government area of Oyo State, making him the father and grandfather of the new born baby.

 
The incest was committed last year and the daughter has already given birth to a bouncing baby boy named Moses Okiki Bolutiwatife, Nigerian Tribune reports.
Narrating her ordeal, the teenage girl, Omolola said her parents divorced about 13 years ago when she was 3-years-old and she has been staying with her mum, Funmilayo since then. In September 2013, her father insisted on taking custody of her. When he took her home, he insisted she will be sleeping in the same room with him.

The teenage girl and her new born baby

Trouble started on December 25, 2013 when her father came home drunk at about 1 a.m. and threatened her with a sharp cutlass to remove her clothes and sleep with him. He succeeded in forcefully having sexual intercourse with her.

 That was not the end of her ordeal as her father continued with his sexual assault. He raped her again in March and April 2014, unknown to her that she was already pregnant from the first encounter.
In April, she started to feel sick and was taken to the Ronke Clinic, Igbeti, by her stepmother who is a nurse and a pregnancy test was conducted which came out positive.
When her father was confronted with the girl’s allegations and her pregnancy report, he denied the allegations and started maltreating his daughter until the case was reported at the Igbeti Division of Oyo State Police Command on April 30, 2014.

The teenage girl was then taken by the Divisional Police Officer, Mr Oyelere Ishola, to General Hospital, Igbeti where the pregnancy was re-confirmed and she was registered for ante-natal care at the Hospital and while investigation into the matter commenced.

Oderinde was later arrested and he confessed to have committed the act but denied impregnating his daughter. Based on his confession, he was arraigned in Magistrate Court, Kisi on a three-count charge including rape and was thereafter remanded in prison custody.
On September 9, Omolola gave birth to a baby boy. She said: “After I was delivered of the baby and my grandfather was told that the baby has a striking resemblance with my father, he ran away and has not been seen since then.”

he teenage girl who has now returned to staying with her mother is appealing to members of the public to come to her aid so that her education would not be stalled.
“I want to return to school. I was in JSS2 when this happened but I don’t want it to mark the end of my academic pursuit,” she said.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Olabisi Okuwobi-Ilobanafor confirmed the story and said the case was already in court while the accused was in prison custody.
