The Ogun State Police Command has
arrested and detained a 40-year-old man,
Victor Emafolomi, for allegedly raping and
impregnating » his 15-year-old
stepdaughter.
Punch reports that the suspect was arrested by
the Agbado Division of the Command after a
complaint was lodged that he raped the girl
identified as Keji , who is wife's daughter from
another marriage and got her pregnant.
Emafolami, a resident of Olukososi Street, Jafa,
Agbado, in the Ifo Local Government Area of the
state, was said to have raped the girl on two
occasions and threatened to kill her if she
informed her mother.
The teenager narrated to the police that the
first time her stepfather raped her, » she was
at a shop where she was learning hairdressing
within the community when her stepfather
called her on the telephone to come home to
prepare lunch for him.
While she was cooking, the suspect allegedly
dragged her into his bedroom and raped her.
“That afternoon, he was drunk. He beat me up
when I resisted. I explained to him that he was
like a father to me, but he didn’t listen.
He used a pillow to cover my mouth and raped
me. He said he would kill me if I told my mother
about the rape.
Two days after, he had sex with me again. That
evening, he beat me up because I insisted that I
would tell my mother when she came back from
work.
He went out and came back with two men after
about 30 minutes. The men stared at me and left.
He said they would be monitoring my movement
and that if I reveal what he did to me, they would
kill me."

The girl's mother, Taiwo , also told the police it
was when she noticed that her daughter had not
had her menstrual flow for the past month, she
became worried and took her to a clinic where a
test was conducted on her and the pregnancy
was confirmed.
“I took her to a clinic in our area and it was
confirmed that she was pregnant. I begged her to
tell me who impregnated her, but she refused.
After so much pressure and pestering, Keji told
me it was my husband who got her pregnant.
I was very shocked, but I could not fault the
revelation because my husband had abandoned
home for some days and there was no
misunderstanding between us. I think it was
because of what he did,” the worried mother
lamented.
But the suspect, an indigene of Delta State,
denied the allegations, saying the girl had a
boyfriend who is responsible for her pregnancy.
“I am a driver. I left home because my wife is
stubborn; she doesn’t take corrections. I left
home to punish her so that she would change for
better.
I never had sex with her daughter and I didn’t
know anything about the pregnancy. I don’t want
it aborted. When she is delivered of the baby, we
will carry out a DNA test on the baby.”
The State Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO), ASP Ambibola Oyeyemi , has confirmed
the case, saying it would be transferred to the
command’s headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta,
for further investigation.
ASP Oyeyemi added that the victim confirmed
that the suspect had carnal knowledge of her
several times and the pregnancy test conducted
on her was positive.
