A 40-year-old man, Taofeek Sulaiman, has been arrested by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command for having unlawful carnal knowledge of his 13-years-old stepdaughter (name withheld).

Meanwhile, the Command’s Commissioner, CP Lanre Bankole, has directed that the suspect be transferred to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and possible prosecution.
