The Lagos State Police Command yesterday paraded a man for abducting the daughter of his landlord for three years, getting her pregnant in the process.

CEOAFRICA.com gathered that Ajibola Idowu, 37, forcefully impregnated the victim, Modupe Brown, 30, during captivity.

Speaking to journalists, the Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Damasus Ozoani, disclosed that Ajibola was arrested along with his mother madam Ebun, who allegedly conspired to commit the crime with him.

He also said the victim gave birth to the child during the process, but because the baby was denied access to immunization, the child has contracted polio disease and subsequently became crippled.

“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.”

The victim, Modupe Brown, told reporters that she was abducted at her father’s house in Ebute Meta.

“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.”

The victim’s father , Idowu Brown, said,

Idowu Brown, the father of the victim said, “I never knew it was Ajibola that kidnapped my daughter. He was my tenant for six years and greeted me every day. We even used to share jokes. He was aware that I had been looking “for my daughter for three years but he never said anything.

“When we could not find her, I reported the matter at FESTAC Police Division. It was in September this year that we heard from our daughter for the first time. She told us that she was in Sagamu and my wife went there.

“There we met Ajibola’s mother. That was how we found out that he (tenant) was the one behind the whole thing.”

However, the mother of Ajibola insisted that her son and the victim were lovers who tried to elope.

“They were lovers. I never got involved in their matter until the child was born. I went to stay with them for about seven months to take care of the child, who was very ill. A few months after I left, they moved in with me at my three-bedroom house at Sagamu because they had been evicted.

“Ajibola was not staying with us because his business was in Lagos but I was with Brown “most of the time. Many times, I would ask her about her parents and when I could meet them but she kept on giving silly excuses until the day her mother came to my house with policemen.”

The suspect also maintained that he never kidnapped the victim, saying it was Modupe that paid a sum of N200,000 into his account to so as to aid their move to an unknown destination.

 “I did not kidnap her; we were lovers and decided to elope. Even when she was at my house, she used to make calls to her relatives telling them that she was alright,” he said.
