The Police in Lagos today disclosed the arrest of a man who allegedly defiled and infected his two-year-old daughter with a sexually-transmitted infection.

Lagos police spokesman, CSP Chike Oti, says in a statement that the incident occurred at 9 Oyetayo Olafisoye Street, Westwood Estate, Badore, in Ajah.

He said the suspect, Peter Adada, was arrested on Saturday after tests conducted on the victim, who was sick, revealed that she had contracted an undisclosed STI.

Oti said after systematic questioning by the investigative officer, the victim made gestures that confirmed her father had been defiling her sexually.

Oti also disclosed the arrest of a security guard, Abdullahi Garuba, in Oshodi for allegedly having anal sex with some young boys in the area.

“In a related development, the Gender Section of the Lagos State Police Command is investigating one Abdullahi Garuba, 58, a security man attached to Oshodi Isolo Local Government Secretariat for allegedly defiling two minors.
