The Lagos State Police Command has apprehended a 37-year-old man,
Ajibola Idowu, for allegedly kidnapping the daughter of his landlord for
three years. The suspect was also said to have forcefully impregnated
the victim, Modupe Brown, during captivity.
Brown had given birth to the child, Ajibola refused to allow the child access to immunisation. As a result, the child was said to have contracted polio disease and subsequently became crippled.
Ajibola, was arrested along with his mother, Ebun, who allegedly conspired with him to commit the act.
He said, “Brown, a 400 level student of
Business Administration at the Lagos State University, was kidnapped by
Ajibola who kept her in captivity with his family for “three years
between 2010 and 2013.
“On September 19, 2013, policemen from
Area E Command, went to the Sagamu area of Ogun State to rescue the
victim and also arrested the mother of the abductor, who watched over
the victim. Ajibola was later arrested in the Idumota area of Lagos
Island.
“During the three years, Ajibola kept
Brown in three locations -Oshogbo, Osun State, where she spent six
months; Bariga, Lagos, where she spent six months; and Sagamu, Ogun
State, where she spent about two years.
“Ajibola forcefully impregnated Brown
while in captivity. She delivered a baby girl, who later became deformed
as a result of Ajibola’s refusal to have the baby immunised against the
Polio virus.”
While speaking with our correspondent,
Brown described her ordeal in the hands of her abductor as a journey
through the valley of the shadow of death. She said she was abducted at
her father’s house in the Ebute Meta area of Lagos State.
She said, “I can’t even remember how he
kidnapped me. All I know is that he held me captive for three years.
It’s as if I was under a spell. Even when I was going to give birth, he
did not allow me to go to a hospital. The baby was delivered at home and
he was the one giving me medication.
“Even one day, when state officials came
to the area to immunise children, he said he would not allow the child
to be immunised, saying the drugs had been poisoned. Once, when I tried
to leave, he threatened to kill me.”
