Ogun State police command, Monday, said it had arrested man, 62, Alabi Ibrahim who defiled his 10 year-old step daughter.

Vanguard gathered that, the suspect was arrested at his house in Onikolobo, Abeokuta Monday and was  whisked away by the policemen who reportedly laid ambush for him.

It was further gathered that Ibrahim was subsequently quizzed by the Oluwo Police Station, before he was   transferred to Ilupeju Police Station along Ayetoro road, an area where he allegedly committed the crime.
