The Ogun Police Command has arrested a man, Adekunle Odukaye, for allegedly assaulting his three-year-old son at Oke Baale, Adi-Odo/Ota Local Government Area.

The Command’s Spokesperson, CSP Omolola Odutola, made this known in a recent statement issued to newsmen in Ota.

According to Odutola, the Command became aware of a disturbing viral video on Feb. 28, 2025, showing an adult male brutally kicking and maltreating a minor, which sparked public outrage and widespread concern.

She said the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, immediately ordered an investigation to uncover the circumstances surrounding the shocking incident.

Odutola said that following swift action by the Sango Ota Divisional Police Officer (DPO), a commercial motorcyclist was arrested and upon interrogation, confirmed that he is the biological father of the child in the video.

She added that the command in collaboration with medical professionals ensured that the assaulted child went through a comprehensive medical examination.

To assess if there were internal injuries sustained from the abuse, she noted that the examination would include a head scan and bone X-rays at a reputable hospital in Ikeja, Lagos.

“Furthermore, the suspect has been subjected to a clinical evaluation, and professional assessments have recommended therapeutic treatment and rehabilitation,” she said.

Odutola emphasised that the command remained committed to justice and child protection, assuring that the suspect would be charged to court for prosecution upon the conclusion of the investigation.

She said that the command acknowledged the public’s concern and emotional response to the video, and assured everyone that all necessary measures were being taken to ensure the safety and well-being of the child.

Odutola urged the public and social media users to remain calm and allow due process to take its course, as the command would continue to work tirelessly to protect the vulnerable and uphold justice in the society.

The command has a zero-tolerance stance on child abuse, domestic violence and all forms of cruelty to minors, she reiterated
