Thirty-seven-year-old
Oluwaseyi, who hails from Ondo State, was arrested on Wednesday, August 19,
after his wife reported an alleged rape to the police.
The husband, Ajiboye
Oluwaseyi, has been arrested for allegedly raping his two daughters a
six-year-old and a four-year-old and his stepdaughter, 15, in the Lekki area of
the state.
It was learnt that
Oluwaseyi, who worked as a Lotto agent, had separated from his wife in December
2014.
He was said to have taken
the two girls from his wife, leaving her with a baby (the third child).
Our correspondent gathered
that Oluwaseyi, after sending the wife packing, allegedly convinced his
stepdaughter, Simbi (pseudonym) to stay with him.
It was learnt that Simbi
had allegedly been raped many times before she opened up to a neighbour, who
brought the matter to the attention of the mother.
Our correspondent learnt
that Olwaseyi’s wife went to a non-governmental organisation to report the
sexual abuse of her daughter.
The police were
subsequently informed and they arrested Oluwaseyi. They also took the three
girls for medical tests.
Our correspondent gathered
that the medical tests showed that Simbi had been raped on several occasions,
while Oluwaseyi’s two daughters had also been defiled.
Speaking with PUNCH Metro,
the suspect’s wife said she left her husband to avoid premature death.
She added that Oluwaseyi
refused her access to her daughters until the NGO and the police got involved.
She said, “We were staying
together in the Lekki Phase 1 area. My 15-year-old daughter, whom I had for
another man, and the two daughters I have for Oluwaseyi were living with us
until December.
“We had a quarrel and
Oluwaseyi threatened to kill me. He sent me out.
“Family members, including
his father, appealed to him to reconcile with me, but he refused. He also
refused to allow me to see my daughters.
“When I heard about the
rape, I confronted him on the matter. He boasted that nothing would happen to
him. He broke bottles, and said he would kill me. Later on when I sat my first
daughter down, she confessed to me that she was truly raped, and that it had
occurred on several occasions.
“That was why I took the
matter to the government, so that they would help me to check Oluwaseyi’s
excesses.”
A police source told PUNCH
Metro that the girls were examined at the centre, where they were confirmed to
have been defiled.
He said,
“The woman initially left with the teenager
and the two girls she has for Oluwaseyi in December, 2014. The suspect,
however, trailed her and forcefully took the girls, threatening to take her
life if she refused.
“The suspect was arrested
on Wednesday, August 19, in the family’s Lekki apartment, while his daughters
were also taken to the centre for tests. It was confirmed that they had been
defiled. The two of them are in Primary 3 and Primary 1 respectively.”
Our correspondent learnt
that the girls were in a good condition, and were currently living with their
mother.
The Lagos State Police
Public Relations Officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, confirmed the incident.
She added that Oluwaseyi
had been arrested.
