The girl also told the police she lost her mother when she was barely two and the father did not allow her to know her maternal relations, meant she had no options but to live with him.
The Baale, who initially denied the allegation, fainted later when confronted by the victim and one of his ex-wife, who corroborated the victim’s ordeal.
He was taken to the hospital where he was resuscitated.
His ex-wife informed the police she caught him while in the act, explaining it was why she walked out of the union. The victim has been taken to the Stella Obasanjo motherless baby home, Abeokuta, for safety.
Oyeyemi said the state Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun has ordered transfer of the suspect to anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
