The
founder of a non-governmental organisation, Jephath Ighodaro, has been arrested
by operatives of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, for allegedly defiling
his twin sons.
Punch gathered that the 37-year-old suspect
was arrested in the Aguda, Surulere area of the state by the police and some
officials of the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender.
A
source told Punch correspondent that the case was reported by the suspect’s
wife after the two boys, aged four, fondled her breasts in an “adult way.”
The
source said the woman became alarmed when she saw the twins attempting to make
love to each other, adding that when she queried them, they said their father
had been doing the same thing to them.
A
police source said the victims gesticulated how the act was performed by their
father when they were interviewed by the police.
He
noted that although the suspect denied the allegation, he would be arraigned on
Friday (today).
The
Lagos State police spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, said the suspect was in custody
and would face prosecution, adding that the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal
Imohimi, was interested in the case.
