A man identified as Michael Ogungbemi has been arrested in Edo State for allegedly defiling his underage stepdaughter and her 13-year-old school friend, both students in Junior Secondary School (JSS1).
The suspect, described as middle-aged, was apprehended by operatives of the Edo State Security Corps (ESSC) in Ogbegun community, Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Benin City.
According to reports, Ogungbemi repeatedly sexually abused his stepdaughter while her mother was at work, often sending her younger siblings on errands to create opportunities for the assaults.
He allegedly encouraged the girl to invite her friends to the home, where he then targeted and defiled one of them after multiple attempts.
The suspect reportedly threatened both victims with death if they disclosed the abuse to anyone.
The case came to light when the 13-year-old friend fell ill at school, displaying symptoms that prompted her teacher to alert her parents.
She was rushed to a hospital, where medical examination revealed bacterial infections consistent with sexual abuse.
Under questioning from her parents and medical personnel, the minor disclosed the repeated sexual assaults by Ogungbemi, which also implicated his stepdaughter.
The parents promptly reported the matter to the Edo State Security Corps. Following a tip-off and swift investigation, operatives arrested the suspect.
Both victims reportedly confirmed the abuse during questioning, and Ogungbemi confessed to the crimes, attributing his actions to “the devil.”
Deputy Commander of the Corps, Richard Balogun, confirmed the arrest and the suspect’s confession to having sexual relations with the minors.
He stated that Ogungbemi was apprehended based on credible intelligence and has since been handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for further investigation and prosecution.
