The Ondo State Police Command has arrested a man identified as Amos Paul for allegedly burning the private part of his 10-year-old daughter with a hot pressing iron as punishment for bed-wetting.
According to the police, the incident occurred in Unaun, Upenme, in Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State and was reported on Thursday, July 16, 2026.
The Command’s spokesperson, Abayomi Jimoh, said the victim sustained severe injuries and was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Owo, where she is receiving treatment.
He said detectives from ‘A’ Division in Owo responded immediately after receiving the report, arrested the suspect, and took him into custody. The case has since been transferred to the Police Gender Unit for further investigation and other necessary actions.
Reacting to the incident, the Commissioner of Police in Ondo State, CP Felix Ohagwu, condemned the alleged act, describing it as “cruel, inhumane and completely unacceptable.”
The police commissioner reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to protecting children and other vulnerable members of society from abuse, violence and exploitation, adding that anyone found culpable would be made to face the full weight of the law.
He also urged members of the public to promptly report cases of child abuse, domestic violence and related offences to the nearest police station, assuring residents that the Command remains committed to ensuring justice for victims.
The police said investigations into the case are ongoing.
