Man Impregnates, Forces Abortion On Daughter 5 Times In Ogun
Police in Ogun State have arrested one Oluwadamilare Ewedemi for the alleged repeated sexual abuse and impregnation of his own biological daughter for seven years since she was 14.
Confirming the arrest on Monday, spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, said the suspect had been arrested and was currently in custody, after the now 21-year-old girl escaped from home.
The 21-year-old victim, whose mother died when she was an infant, reported to the Ifo Division that her father had subjected her to a harrowing cycle of abuse and five forced abortions over a period of seven years.
The victim’s ordeal reportedly began in 2019 after her father removed her from a motherless baby home in Ikeja, Lagos, where she had been raised, under the guise of providing guardianship in Ijebu Ode.
She alleged that the suspect sexually assaulted her continuously from that year until 2026, resulting in five separate pregnancies, all of which were illegally terminated by her father.
The breakthrough in the case came after the young woman managed to escape from home on February 1, 2026, and sought refuge at a church located on Pakoto Mountain.
Thereafter, she officially reported the “callous acts” to the police on March 26, 2026, leading to a swift investigation by the Ifo Division under the leadership of CSP Kamorudeen.
