Today, Anthony Adeyemi is a shadow of himself. He lives in depression and pain as a result of partial paralysis that he suffers. But as if that was not enough a burden for him, he has compounded his trouble by allegedly involving himself in immorality. Rather than living his life as a respectable father, he chose a path of dishonour by defiling his stepdaughter.

On Sunday, October 17, while Christian worshippers were on their way to church, Adeyemi was busy scheming for the forbidden fruit that landed him in police custody. The 55-year-old man was caught making love with an 11-year-old girl in his shop.

It was some minutes past 10am and the church bell just chimed to remind worshippers that it was time for church. But Adeyemi, a pool collector living at Unlce Joe, Mokola area of Ibadan, was busy with other things in his shop. With his libido going haywire he eagerly longed for his stepdaughter that he sent on errand to buy food for him. But on her arrival, a drama of the absurd happened and they were caught in the act.

Adeyemi, who had his game to his chest, told the girl to put the food on the table and keep him company in the shop. She obliged. After the breakfast, the seducer pounced on the young girl with the gait of a possessed man who was ready to go all hug to have his way. Before long, he had his way with his stepdaughter. But the bubble burst before the sex bout was over between father and the underage stepdaughter as a neighbour caught them in the heat of emotion.

The neighbour (name not given) raised the alarm and, in a jiffy, a mob gathered at the scene to behold the show of shame that happened on a holy day. They later whisked the suspect to a nearby police station from where he was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Iyaganku, Ibadan.

The man was said to have confessed to the crime. But, our correspondent noted that he was not consistent in his response as he denied some of the claims made against him. Asked what led him to it, the suspect, who explained that he had two failed marriages, said he was sex-starved because he had no woman (wife) in the house. He told our correspondent that it was not the first time they were having an affair but said he did not pull the girl‘s pant. Interestingly also, he denied his neighbour‘s allegation that he was caught pants down with the teenager.

During an interview with our correspondent, Adeyemi said he had sex with the girl on five occasions. He added that he was not the first man to have canal knowledge of the victim with an explanation that he was not the one that broke her hymen. He said, “I did not meet her intact. She had been doing it before I started meeting her. It all started this year. I did it because I could not get a mature woman to make love to. I had been down with a stroke for some time and my wives had divorced me.”

The suspect, who said he was formerly a carpenter, explained that his wives eloped when things became rough for him. Adeyemi, a native of Abeokuta in Ogun State, said he went into the pool business some years ago when he went bankrupt and took ill.

His estranged second wife left Tinu in her mother‘s care. Adeyemi said the girl‘s grandmother was unable to meet Tinu‘s needs. As a result, Tinu and her half sister called Imole usually go to Adeyemi for money for their upkeep.

The man said, ”I am responsible for the girl‘s upkeep. The girls live with their grandmother but they come to me for money from time to time. My estranged wife had Tinu for the man he married before we met. She had a girl for me (Itunu, an eight-year-old girl).

”The girl and my own daughter came for money that Sunday. My daughter was in the bedroom upstairs while the girl was with me at the shop on the ground floor. The door was not locked, so a neighbour burst in and exclaimed that he saw us having fun.”

He said he was sorry for what he did and asked God to forgive him. The Investigating Police Officer (name not mentioned) said findings showed that the man and the girl had for long been engaged in the act. He said that the police noted that the man robbed cream on his manhood and on the girl‘s private part before forcing himself into her.

However, the man said that he did not force himself on the girl. He said, “I did not remove her pant. I robbed cream on my manhood and the girl’s private part but I did not remove the pant and we did not do it.”
