The Ondo State Police Command, under the proactive and purposeful leadership of the Commissioner of Police, CP Adebowale Lawal, PSC+, MNIPS, wishes to inform the general public of the arrest and arraignment of one Babawale Kolawole ‘m’ aged 53yrs of No. 12 Okeodunwo Street, Igbado, Ondo, over a grievous case of incest and sexual abuse.
On the 13th of September, 2025, a 16-year-old minor, reported at the Command that her uncle, the above-named suspect, had been subjecting her to repeated sexual assault. The victim further alleged that the suspect engaged in the act almost daily, and that after each episode, he would clean her private part with a piece of cloth. Shockingly, the suspect had also facilitated the termination of her pregnancies on two occasions.
Upon receipt of this disturbing report, the Gender-Based Offences Unit of the Command immediately swung into action, arrested the suspect, and diligently processed the case for prosecution. He has since been arraigned before a competent court of jurisdiction and remanded in custody pending further trial.
The Command reiterates its unwavering commitment to protecting the rights of women and children, and to ensuring that offenders face the full weight of the law without compromise.
This achievement is in line with the policing vision of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, whose reform-driven leadership continues to strengthen gender-sensitive policing, foster accountability, and reinforce strategic responses against sexual and gender-based violence nationwide. The Ondo State Command remains proud to translate this vision into visible actions that build community trust and enhance public safety.
While appreciating members of the public for their timely reporting of cases, the Command urges all residents to remain vigilant and continue to provide credible information to the police for swift intervention. Together, we can create a safer society for our children and generations unborn.
