46-year-old Jimoh Rafiu, in the Idimu area of Alimosho LGA, Lagos, has been arrested for allegedly defiling his 6-year-old daughter, while blaming the dastardly act on his wife’s refusal to have sex with him and the Ogogoro local gin.
 
The victim informed members of the Advocates for Children and Vulnerable People's Network that she had been repeatedly defiled by her father, suggesting the act of penetration.
 
The victim's mother, while giving her side of the story, reiterated that whenever she returns from work, the father usually removes his daughter’s clothes on the excuse that the child needs fresh air.
  
According to the ACVPN reporter, “The six-year-old survivor said her daddy lies on her and puts his hand and manhood in her vagina, and points to her lower abdomen.
 
“According to the mother, before she comes back from work, the perpetrator always undresses their daughter, explaining that it is because of heat. And since he is the father, she never gave it a thought.
 
“She said there was a day she was bathing the survivor, the survivor didn't allow her to wash her vagina. She tried to force her but she was crying seriously. She took her inside and asked her who had been touching her vagina that was making her feel pain.
 
“The reply shocked the mother when the little girl said, “it's my daddy”. She immediately confronted him but he didn't deny it and he promised to stop the act.
 
“Two days later, the survivor began to cry because of pain in her lower abdomen. She was taken to a nurse that gave her some pain relief. There was no improvement. The mother reported to the Idimu police station and was referred to the Idera Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) for support.
 
“On February 24, the perpetrator was arrested by OC Human Rights, Madam Wunmi and her team. Thanks to IPO Peju for her prompt response.
 
“The perpetrator was asked if he had been having sex with the daughter, he answered in the affirmative. The reason he gave was that his wife refused to have sex with him. He said he abuses his daughter after he drinks Ogogoro (local gin)." 

Jimoh has confessed to committing the crime but blamed it on his wife's refusal to sleep with him and on the influence of alcohol.
