14-year-old Girl commit su!cide for fear of continuous torture by Father and Step-mother in Lagos State

One Desola Adeoye, 14-year-old girl, as identified on Tuesday, 22nd of August 2023, ended it all in Shogunle community, Lagos State.
 
According to reports gathered from sources, Desola who had allegedly suffered untold violence in the hands of her father, Me Sunday Adeoye, and his wife, drank insecticide to escape torture.

It was gathered that the deceased decided to commit su!cide after her step-mother allegedly threatened her when she got home from her summer school.

She reportedly told her that when her father returns, he would pounce on her.

Worried by the said threat, Desola sneaked out of the house and drank the insecticide kept in the house. She was reportedly rushed to a nearby private hospital where she gave up the ghost.

When her father came back, he quickly retrieved her lifeless body from the private hospital, took it back home with the intention of burying her secretly.

This was however stopped by Lagos police operatives attached to Shogunle Divisional station, who were alerted by neighbourhood.

One of their neighbour who confirmed the alleged torture that Desola and her siblings had been passing through, told the publication; 

“The late Desola and her two younger sisters were regularly subjected to domestic violence by their biological father and stepmother every time they made mistake.

“Shogunle Community Development Association in Oshodi, CDA, had, on numerous occasions, cautioned their father and stepmother to stop the physical abuse unleashed on their children especially late Desola Adeoye.”

Chief Operating Officer of Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Persons Network, Mr. Ebenezer Omejalile, has called on Lagos State government, the Nigeria Police and Nigeria Bar Association, NBA to rescue the remaining two children still under the care of the couple and also get justice for the late Desola.
