Ondo State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has arrested a 48-year-old man identified as Onifade Femi for defiling his two daughters.
The suspect who reportedly defiled his daughters aged 6 and 9, was handed over to NSCDC officials by the Deji of Akure, His Majesty Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi, Odundun II.
Ondo NSCDC spokesperson, Olufemi Omole said the suspect who fled to the palace to escape being lynched after being exposed, committed the said offence at No 27 Liberty Hospital Road, Oluwatuyi, Akure.
Onifade reportedly used his wife’s absence due to their long history of disagreement, to molest his daughters.
Omole said: “It was further revealed that few days ago the suspect bought a bottle of soft drink, mixed a powdery substance with it and gave the kids to drink.
“He went further to caress the kids and suck their private parts. The neighbours reflected on hearing the wailing of the children throughout the night after sending out their mother.
“Medical examination from Federal Medical Centre Annex in Akure however revealed that both kids have lost their hymen and their private part deeply opened.
“The State Government has shown interest in this case and the welfare of the children has been fully guaranteed”
The suspect will be arraigned in court at the conclusion of investigation.
