The sixty-two year old man allegedly defiled his ten year old step daughter.

The fugitive 62 year old suspect, Alabi Ibraheem, who allegedly defiled his 10 year old step daughter in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital, was apprehended by the police on Monday.

A ten year old girl had narrated to the police men that her step – father had slept with her on too many occasions.

“Daddy always sleeps with me whenever my mother is not around,” the child said. “He tells me not to inform anyone each time he sleeps with, that I shall die if I tell anybody.”
