Man arrested for impregnating Ogun minor

A man identified as Samuel Ani has been arrested for allegedly defiling a 14-year-old girl (name withheld) in the Sagamu community of Ogun State.

PUNCH Metro learnt on Thursday that the suspect was caught on Wednesday, at about 2 pm having carnal knowledge of the minor.

The state police command further said that Ani was also suspected to have impregnated the minor, a crime he had confessed to carrying out.

The spokesperson for the command, Omolola Odutola, informed our correspondent that the survivor had been immediately taken to the hospital for medical examination.

Odutola said, “The father known only as Paul had approached the division to report the crime suspect committed against his daughter. The suspect allegedly defiled the minor and is also accused of impregnating her. The 28-year-old suspect had been arrested and detained by the command.

“The matter will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department once the preliminary investigation is completed. In the meantime, the survivor has been taken to a hospital for medical examination.”

A related report by PUNCH Metro in May detailed how a landlord in his 70s, identified as Adesina, was arrested for defiling and impregnating his tenant’s 14-year-old daughter in the Ifesowapo Akute area of Ifo Local Government Area in Ogun State.

Residents and other tenants were shocked when, on Tuesday night, April 9, 2024, the septuagenarian suspect was discovered engaging in sexual intercourse with the girl in the house’s bathroom.

The minor reportedly went to the bathroom to take a shower when the landlord entered and began engaging in sexual intercourse with her before being caught in the act.
