Girl impregnated by own father in Oyo tells her story

It is unbelievable. It sounds strange, though this is not the first time such would be happening. Each time the incident occurs, it sounds untrue. But it has happened again and there is a living being serving as a confirmation. A bouncing baby boy named Moses Okiki Bolutiwatife. The ‘it’ is incest committed by a 42-year-old Segun Oderinde against his 16-year-old daughter (name withheld)
The name, Boluwatife, means ‘As God wills’, but is it really the will of God for a man to sire a child through his own biological daughter? Okiki also means ‘fame’ but is it this kind of fame the little baby would have wished himself? This is the strange thing that has happened in the Oderinde family in Gboro Compound, Igbeti, Olorunsogo Local Government area of Oyo State.

Crime Reports learnt that Oderinde and the mother of his daughter, one Funmilayo (37), divorced each other 13 years ago when the girl was just three years old. The young girl was in her mother’s custody until when September 2013 when Oderinde insisted on taking his daughter into custody. Not only that, he insisted that his daughter should be sleeping in the same room with him.


Things however took a turn, according to reports, when on December 25, 2013, the teenager’s sleep was rudely interrupted by her father who came home drunk at about 1 a.m. asked her to get up. The girl’s eyes widened with shock and fear when her father brashly told her to remove her dress.
As expected, the girl refused her father’s abnormal command but quickly complied when she saw him brandishing a well-sharpened, glittering cutlass, with a threat to sever her head in a jiffy if she was not fast in obeying his instruction. He succeeded in having sexual intercourse with her, albeit forcefully.
Unable to comprehend her father’s action, the girl reported the incident to one of her stepmothers, who promised to find out if her claim was true. Whether the woman asked her husband or not, the girl did not know.
Her ordeal however continued when the man had sex with her again in March and April 2014, unknown to her that she was already pregnant with the first encounter. When she started feeling weak by the end of April, she was said to have been taken to Ronke Clinic, Igbeti, by her stepmother who is a nurse and was confirmed to be pregnant by one Mrs Elizabeth Aremu.
The proprietress of the clinic reportedly informed the girl’s father and her paternal grandfather of the result of the pregnancy test carried out on the girl and her confession which indicted her father. Oderinde was said to have denied the allegation and started maltreating his daughter until the case was reported at the Igbeti Division of Oyo State Police Command on April 30, 2014.
When the report was received, The Divisional Police Officer, Mr Oyelere Ishola, was said to have taken the girl to General Hospital, Igbeti where the pregnancy was re-confirmed. She was referred to a diagnostic centre to ascertain the duration of the pregnancy, and the ultrasound scan done at one Bethsaida Hospital, Igbeti on May 1, 2014 indicated that the girl was four months and two weeks pregnant. She was given the second week of September 2014 as the expected delivery date.
Crime Reports further learnt that the DPO and the Divisional Crime Officer had to take it upon themselves to register the teenager for ante-natal care at the General Hospital and while investigation was ongoing, Oderinde, who had initially denied having carnal knowledge of his daughter, confessed to have committed the act but denied impregnating his daughter.
Based on the confession, Crime Reports gathered that on May 30, the incestuous man was arraigned in Magistrate Court, Kisi on charge number MKS/8C/2014 on a three-count charge including rape. He was thereafter remanded in prison custody.
