Sholabi, who
is the head of Oose Agbedu Ajibawo in Owode-Yewa area, was arrested after the
daughter reported him at the Owode Egbado Police station.
The Police in
Ogun state have arrested a traditional ruler, Rasheed Sholabi for defiling his
15 -year- old daughter, for four years.
The daughter
stunned the police when she disclosed the man had been having sex with her
since she was 11 years-old.
She added
that the frequent sexual assault has affected her private part, making it
difficult to control her urine.
The girl also
told the police she lost her mother when she was two years old.
Ogun Police
Public Relations Officer, Deputy superintendent Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the
Divisional Police Officer for Owode-Egbado, Olabisi Elebute, led detectives to
the traditional ruler’s Palace and arrested him.
The Baale,
who initially denied the allegation, fainted later when confronted by the
victim and one of his ex-wives, who corroborated the victim’s ordeal.
His ex-wife
informed the police she caught him while in the act, explaining it was why she
walked out of the union.
The victim
has been taken to the Stella Obasanjo Motherless Babies Home, Abeokuta, for
safety.
Commissioner
of Police Edward Ajogun has ordered the transfer of the suspect to anti-human trafficking
and child labour unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department (SCIID) for further investigation and diligent prosecution.—The
