35-year-old Kingsley Achugbo has been arrested by the police in Lagos State for allegedly harassing his 2-year-old daughter and his housemaid sexually.
State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the arrest of the suspect to the Nigerian Tribune in a statement he signed on Tuesday.
Adejobi said: “The police operatives attached to Festac Division of the Command, on Monday 21st, June 2021, arrested one Kingsley Achugbu, m, 35, of Festac Area, Lagos, for alleged sexual harassment of his wife’s housemaid (name withheld) and his biological daughter of 2 years old.
“The housemaid had reported the matter to the police at Festac Division, in the company of one Mrs Justina Nelson, f, of Children and Vulnerable Persons Network and the police swung into action immediately.”
The police spokesperson also stated that: “The 2 years old survivor has been taken to the hospital for medical examination and expert report for further investigation.”
According to Adejobi, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has ordered that the matter be transferred to the Gender Unit of the Command for further investigation and possible prosecution.
He also appealed to the general public to always report all cases of sexual harassment, assault and domestic-based violence to the police or any available relevant government agencies and non-government organisations.
Kingsley Achugbo should face the full force of the law. He shouldn’t get away with defiling a baby and his house girl.
