The Ondo State Police Command has arrested one Oyewole Adamolekun for allegedly engaging in a prolonged incestuous relationship with his 15-year-old biological daughter, which resulted in pregnancy.
The command’s spokesperson, DSP Olushola Ayanlade, disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday in Akure, the state capital. He said the suspect, a resident of Taye Village, Lafa 2, Ajue Area, was arrested following a complaint lodged at the Enu-Owa Divisional Police Headquarters in Ondo Town on October 8, 2025, by one Mr. Julius Olusola, a member of the community.
According to Ayanlade, the complainant alleged that the suspect had been having unlawful carnal knowledge of his daughter since she was just three years old.

During interrogation, the suspect voluntarily confessed to the crime,” Ayanlade said.
He added that the suspect is currently in police custody, and the case has been transferred to the command’s Gender Desk Unit for thorough investigation and prosecution.
