A 28-year-old man, Adeyemi Babatunde, has reportedly defiled his five-year-old daughter in Ogun State.

The father had unlawful carnal knowledge of the child at Ijebu Mushin, the police said on Thursday.

According to a statement by the State police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect was reported at the police station by the mother of the victim.

The mother had reported that she noticed her daughter was complaining of pain whenever she wanted to urinate as well as whenever she was bathing her.

The woman had pressurized the little girl, who later explained that “her father laid her on the bed and inserted his manhood into her private part when the mother was not at home.”

“On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the commission of the crime but claimed not to know what comes over him,” Oyeyemi said.
