Narrating her ordeal, the victim told the police that she has lost her mother when she was barely 2yr old and that the suspect did not allow her to know any relation of her late mother, a development that left her with no option than to continue staying with her father who used that opportunity to sexually abuse her from time to time.

Upon the report, the DPO Owode-Egbado SP Olabisi Elebute quickly led her men to the place where the Baale was promptly arrested.

His ex-wife informed the police that she caught him red handed while having sex with his daughter and that was the reason why she left him.
