The man, identified as Femi Orojo, who was said to have been married to the mother of the girl for about six years, took to his heels immediately the incident was blown open.
According to the mother of the victim, Bunmi Joshua, she discovered that Odunayo was five months pregnant, following her incessant sickness and expressed surprise.
She said: “it was one of my neighbours who called my attention to it recently that my girl was pregnant and anytime I asked her about who was responsible for the pregnancy, she would be crying that if she said it, she would die.
“I then took her to my pastor and after much pressure, she confessed that it was my husband. And when we took her to hospital, it was confirmed.
“She told my pastor that when I was not around ,my husband entered into her room with a cutlass and threatened to kill her, if she did not allow him to sleep with her.
“After forcing her to have sex with him, my child said he brought out a red handkerchief and warned her not to tell anybody or else, she would die. That is why she did not tell anyone.”
Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Femi Joseph, said his men are on the trail of the man
