The Ondo State Police Command has arrested a 45-year-old man, identified as Oyewole Adamolekun, for allegedly engaging in a prolonged incestuous relationship with his biological daughter, aged 15, which resulted in pregnancy.
According to a statement issued on Thursday by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka Olushola, the incident occurred in Taye Village, Lafa 2, Ajue area of the state.
The case was reported on October 8, 2025, by one Mr. Julius Olusola, a resident of the same community, who alleged that the suspect had been having unlawful sexual intercourse with his daughter since she was three years old.
Prompt News reports that the Police operatives attached to the Enu-Owa Divisional Headquarters arrested the suspect following the report.
The victim was immediately taken to a hospital, where an ultrasound examination confirmed that she was 19 weeks and two days pregnant.
