at the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department SCID Panti Yaba
over allegations that he has been defiling his 13 years old daughter and
assaulting his wife.
Theresa
Taiwo-Olaoye the wife of the pastor has raised the alarm on the alleged
sexual abuse and subsequent abduction of their 13 years old daughter, allegedly by her husband and the father of the girl Pastor Taiwo Samuel
Olaoye.
It was gathered
that the child with special needs... a mild case of Cerebral Palsy,
hence, her dependence to certain extent her mother said
Police
sources said Mrs. Theresa Taiwo-Olaoye while narrating the alleged
defilement of her special need daughter to the Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network
( ACVPN) said " I noticed some level of unusual attachment of her father, to their daughter, when she was about 6-7 years
old; such attachments as father bathing naked with his daughter. This
continued even as she attained puberty, at this time, the father baths her and he equally shaves her pubic hair, till she started
menstruating. Every attempt I made to make him see reasons with her and
to stop him from these actions, yielded no result. In order to stop
him, I went further to make reports to several agencies, to rescue my
daughter from her father. On January 2021,I reported twice to
Citizens Mediation Centre - under the Ministry of Justice, Ikorodu, OPD
office Ikorodu Courts, Welfare office - under the Lagos State Ministry
of Youth, Sports and Social Development, Ita Elewa office, Ikorodu,
Community Women's Rights Foundation, Lagos State Child Protection
Network, DSVRA... several letters were served and calls made, but he
never responded to any. And anytime he is served a letter from any of
the agencies, he will leave the house for months without coming back,
until the heat cools off; only for him to come back and resumed his
abuse on their daughter".
Mrs.
Olaoye it was gathered was given a letter to Health Centre Ikorodu to
take her for Medical Examinations, but her father bluntly
refused.
She stated " On
February 7, 2022, she was stack naked, her father, Taiwo
Olusegun Samuel Olaoye on his boxer briefs, bathing her. I took some
shots, using her phone, to serve as evidence of his abuse. However, he
overpowered me took the phone from me and beat me up On his instructions,
the driver, Yemi Abejide, carried her while she was still
fully naked and ran into the church bus, Taiwo's younger sister,
Tunrayo Olaoye, ran along and they all drove off...and their whereabout
has been unknown since then".
It
was gathered that Mrs. Olaoye received an invitation to appear at the
Human Right Resource Center, Command Headquarters, on March 10, 2022,
for fact-finding on a case before them. She could not make it to the
meeting because she received the letter late on the same day. She was
given another invitation for March 14, 2022.
It
was gathered that Mrs. Olaoye approached Aunt Landa's Bethel
Foundation, with her complaint, on March 11, 2022, requesting that they
intervened in rescuing her daughter.
A
petition was raised against Taiwo Samuel Olaoye, for sexual abuse of a
minor, child abduction and domestic violence. The petition was approved
on the same day, March 11, 2022.
ACVPN said '' Permission to track Taiwo Samuel Olaoye's phone, and got his location was also effected.
ACVPN
said " On Monday, March 14, 2022, Aunt Landa, accompanied Theresa to
Command Headquarters Ikeja, due to a petition raised against her by
Taiwo Samuel Olaoye.OC
Gender SCID Panti CSP Margaret Ighodalo, called the OC Human Rights,
Command Headquarters, briefing her on the petition against Taiwo Samuel
Olaoye at SCID Panti. OC Human Rights agreed that Taiwo would be handed
over to Panti, and instructed her 2IC accordingly; hence, an officer was
sent from SCID Panti to bring Taiwo in. However, the 2IC to the OC
Human Rights refused to hand over Taiwo to Panti, her excused being that
the instructions given to her by the OC Human Rights were verbal, thst
there is no signed written document to that effect. That was how Taiwo
Samuel Olaoye was allowed to go home that day.Another meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, March 16, 2022, instructing Taiwo Samuel Olaoye to be present with the girl.As
instructed, all parties were available on Wednesday, March 16, 2022. She was taken to WARIF for medical examinations,
but the doctor was not on seat.
''The
intention was to allow her go with her mother or keep her
with Aunt Landa Bethel Foundation on that Wednesday, March 16, till
Friday, March 18, 2022, when the doctor will be available for the
medical examinations. However, the 2 IC to OC Gender, Command
Headquarters called OC Gender, SCID Panti, reporting that the lawyers to
Taiwo Samuel Olaoye were alleging that OC Gender SCID wants to tamper
with her so that the medical examinations results will prove
positive for sexual abuse.
Hence,
another medical examinations paper was issued from Panti, to take her to Mirabel Centre Ikeja General Hospital, Thursday, March
18, 2022, for the medical examinations, and her was released
to Toyin Aro, instructing her to be in SCID Panti by 8:00am with her so that they will proceed for the medical examinations
at Mirabel Center. Also,
Taiwo Samuel Olaoye, her father, and Theresa Taiwo-Olaoye, her mother were also instructed to be around on the same
day, for an interview with the Deputy Commissioner of Police.As
instructed, Theresa was present with her son, Segun, on Thursday, March
17, but Toyin Aro, Taiwo Samuel Olaoye and the girl did not show
up''.
''Attempts to reach
them on phone proved futile, as all their mobile phone numbers were
unreachable. When finally Toyin Aro was reached via another number
provided by Mrs. Helen Awah, she claimed that her lawyer called her late
the previous night, instructing her to be at Command Headquarters the
following day by 11:00am; that as at the time she sent the message, she
was close to Command Headquarters, but her car was having issues.However,
till the close of work of the day, as reported by officers in Command
Headquarters, they were not seen, Toyin, Taiwo and her ...
neither were they seen in SCID Panti.Taiwo
Samuel Olaoye got the case transferred to Gender Headquarters, the same
day OC Gender SCID Panti was planning to serve a letter of invitation
to Toyin Aro, at her place of work''.
On
March 28, 2022, Aunty Landa had a meeting with the OC Gender Command
Headquarters, CSP Grace Agboola Ifidon, concerning the case.Theresa
Taiwo-Olaoye was on ground with her son, Segun. However, Taiwo Samuel

day''.
On Saturday, April
2, 2022, the 2IC was all by 7:00am as agreed, she said that the
movement would no longer be as scheduled because there was no
Investigation Activity for the movement, hence, the movement was
cancelled.On April 4,
2022, a meeting was scheduled with the Commissioner of Police,
concerning the case. This meeting was
arranged by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, SCID Panti.
The
CP expressed shock that the case was transferred from Gender SCID Panti
to Command Headquarters, stating that he never requested for the case
to be transferred. It was discovered that it was the DC Administration
Command Headquarters, that requested for the transfer of the case,
without the knowledge of the CP.The CP instructed that the case be returned to SCID Panti''.
According
to Helen Awah, who is close to Taiwo Samuel Olaoye, Gender office
Police Headquarters actually sent Oluwatimilehin to WARIF for medical
examinations without our without interested parties knowledge, as the
complainant on behalf of Theresa. Theresa was
not also informed about this.Reliable
sources from Police Headquarters, informed us that a 3-man-committee is
going be set up to handle this case, even though the case has been
transferred to SCID as expected.On
Thursday, April 7, 2022, an officer from D19 Section (Cybercrime
Division) of the SCID, requested for the presence of Theresa
