As stories evolve daily exposing sexual crimes, researches has shown that more sexual crimes are carried out by family members of the victims.
Wisdom Adefemi has accused his father Olusegun Adefemi, of sexually abusing his 3-year-old sister, Favour. Wisdom disclosed this to the Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, who ordered the arrest of Adefemi.
According to Wisdom, his father also attempted to penetrate him and his 5-year-old brother, Godspower, through the anus, but they refused because the pain was too much to bear.
Narrating 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 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.”
Edgal, Parading the suspect, said he was arrested at No. 6 Ipakan Street, Ijede, after an official of Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC), Adekoya Sesan, reported the incident.
He said Adefemi had unsupervised access to his kids since he was separated from his wife sometime ago over alleged abuse.
The suspect, however, denied allegations saying “I am shocked at the allegations. I have never done it and I will never do it. I heard that my children accused me of raping their sister. They never said it before me. I thought the police would bring them before me and ask them so that I can hear it from them directly but the police did not.”
Imohimi said the suspect inflicted grievous injury in the private part of the child as a result of forceful penetration.
“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,” Imohimi said
