POLICE operatives from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba, Lagos, have arrested a 52-year-old man, Tony Onyeagoro, for allegedly sexually molesting his 14-year-old daughter by stripping himself naked and attempting to rape her.
According to media reports, the incident happened at Simon Aniako Street in the Abaranje area of Ikotun, Lagos, where the suspect resides with his five children. He is currently being held in Police custody undergoing interrogation over the conduct following a petition written to the Police by his embattled wife, Mrs Blessing Tony, asking the Police to prosecute him so that she and her children would have peace in the family.
However, there was a twist in the whole matter during the investigation as the daughter was taken to Mirabel Center for a medical test. It was discovered that the victim had already been defiled through penetration.
The girl’s mother, Mrs Blessing Tony, informed the Police that her husband had been caught while he stripped himself naked and made several attempts to rape the daughter unsuccessfully because she kept a watch over the children since she noticed his plans four years ago.
But contrarily, the victim claimed that she had never seen her father’s nakedness, nor had he penetrated her but admitted that her father had made six failed attempts. The revelations by the victim further complicated the matter, which prompted the Police to further investigate to find out who actually defiled the victim since she claimed that her father had never succeeded.
To get to the root of the matter, the Police withdrew the victim from her mother and kept her in protective custody for further investigation to know who actually defiled her since she said that her father had never penetrated her.
According to Police sources, apart from her father, the victim mentioned two suspects behind the act, and the Police were said to be working on how to apprehend them.
