Father allegedly impregnates 14-year-old daughter
A case of alleged incest has been reported in Oyo State, in Oluyole Local Government Area, involving a 14-year-old junior secondary school student who is said to have been impregnated by her father, Kayode Oluwaseunfunmi.
The teenager, whose name has been withheld for legal and ethical reasons, disclosed that the alleged abuse began in December 2024.
Now visibly seven months pregnant, she disclosed that since the death of their mother a decade ago, their father had been the sole caregiver for her and her two siblings.
As a result of the pregnancy, she was unable to participate in her ongoing JSS 3 examinations.
In an emotional appeal, the girl pleaded with authorities not to punish her father.
“I never wanted this to happen. My father has always been my protector since our mother passed away, and I feel so torn inside,” she said.

“He has been there for me and my siblings, doing his best to provide for us. And despite what he did, I still love him deeply.
“It’s hard to reconcile the person I know with the actions that have hurt me. I don’t want our family to be broken apart by this situation; we’ve already lost so much.
“I just wish things could go back to the way they were before all of this. I hope people can see that there’s more to our story and that we need support, not just punishment. My father made a terrible mistake, but I believe there’s a way to heal without completely destroying our family.
“I want help to find a path forward—to ensure that my siblings and I are safe and cared for. I hope the authorities understand my feelings and consider what’s best for all of us.”
Following an investigation, the suspect has been arrested and is being detained at the Orita Police Station in Challenge, Ibadan, pending further legal action.
Meanwhile, the Oyo State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Inclusion has initiated plans to rehabilitate the girl and ensure that justice is served.
