Operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Kwara State Command, have arrested a security guard, Jacob Obomerelu, for allegedly having canal knowledge of his 18-year-old daughter.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on Monday, December 6, 2021, at the 47-year-old suspects’ workplace, in Tanke area of Ilorin.
Spokesman of the NSCDC in the state, Babawale Afolabi, in a statement on Tuesday, December 14, said the suspect was arrested following a tip-off.
“On Tuesday 7th December 2021, we were tipped off by one Alhaja Mariam Bello, who claimed that Modupe who happened to be her adopted daughter was r*ped by her biological father, adding that the victim used to live with her at her Isale Gaa Akanbi residence but moved out to stay with her dad after a little misunderstanding between her and the victim.
Modupe had a little misunderstanding with Alhaja who adopted her in 2017 when her mother separated with Jacob and since then was staying with the woman.
The victim joined her father in the gatehouse where he was working as a security guard and it was during the night of her first stay with her father that the incident occurred.
In her statement, Modupe narrated how she begged her father not to r*pe her. But all her plea fell on her father’s deaf ear who after the act later gave her 1000 naira to buy dr*gs to flush her system.
In his confessional statement, Jacob, the father of four children admitted to have committed the crime but blame it on the devil as he was not really aware that he was doing it,” the statement reads.
