A forty-five-year-old man, Taiwo Ojo of Ojido Street, Ado Ekiti has been arrested by the police for allegedly having intercourse with his thirteen-year-old daughter.
The suspect who is a council worker was arrested after a tip-off by some members of his community who observed the immoral act. The arrest of the suspect, Taiwo Ojo, was made possible due to the vigilance and prompt action of community members who reported the incident to the authorities. Their courage and commitment to justice helped put an end to the alleged abuse and ensured the suspect was held accountable.
The community’s involvement plays a vital role in preventing and addressing child abuse, and their actions in this case are commendable.
Our Correspondents gathered that the suspect began to defile the child a few years earlier after the mother died.
Witnesses said the abuse started at Inisa Street where the man was residing before but he relocated to Ojido after he suspected that people were already getting to know about his conduct. The survivor in her statement with the police confirmed the allegation and said she had lost count of how many times the father slept with her.
It’s unfortunate that the suspect allegedly tried to evade detection by relocating to a different area, Ojido, after suspecting that his actions were becoming known in his previous residence, Inisa Street. This attempt to hide his behavior shows the suspect’s awareness of the wrongfulness of his actions and his attempt to avoid accountability.
Thankfully, the community members’ vigilance and reporting led to his eventual arrest, ensuring that he faces the consequences of his alleged actions.
