The Ogun state police command has arrested a traditional ruler named Rasheed Sholabi who is a Baale of Oose Agbedu Ajibawo in Owode-Yewa area of the state for defiling his own daughter who is only 15 year old.
The minor who couldnt bare the trauma anymore as she couldnt control her urinary system any longer went to the Owode Egbado Police station and reported the case to the police.
According to her, she had no choice than to live with her father after her mother died when she was barely 2 year old because her father refused to introduce her to her maternal relations. However, her father started defiling her since she was 11 year old.
As soon as the Baale was reported by the minor, Abimbola, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), stated the Divisional Police Officer for Owode-Egbado, Olabisi Elebute, led detectives to the traditional ruler’s palace and arrested him.
Upon interrogation, the Baale denied the allegations from the minor but when confronted by the minor and his ex-wife who claimed to have left him for the same reason, he fainted.
He was rushed to the hospital and brought back to consciousness.
The victim has been taken to the Stella Obasanjo motherless baby home, Abeokuta, for safety while the suspect has been transferred to State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
