A man named Ajiboye Oluwaseyi, 37 is currently cooling his heels in the police cell after being accused of raping his two daughters and a step-daughter.

 

The suspect who hails from Ondo was arrested on Wednesday, 19th of August after he had reportedly had canal knowlege of the girls aged 6years and 4years and the 15year-old step-daughter aged in Lekki, Lagos.
 

Media reports claim his wife reported his crimes to the police. The culprit had divorced his estranged wife in December, 2014. He works as a Lotto agent. Oluwaseyi sent his wife packing and took custody of two of their daughters including a step-daughter who he raped severally till the minor summoned courage to report the matter to a neighbour. The information was later leaked to his wife who proactively swung into action to expose him.

 

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. Medical tests showed the step-daughter had been raped on several occasions, while Oluwaseyi’s two daughters had also been defiled.

 

Punch correspondents spoke with Oluwaseyi's former wife who revealed she had to give up on their marriage to save her own life due to the threat her ex-husband posed.

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.”

Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team, provided medical attention, through the Mirabel Centre, to the three girls, and ensured that the police got the suspect arrested.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, confirmed the incident. She added that Oluwaseyi had been arrested for prosecution.
