He also said that rape, molestation, and incest charges would be brought against the suspect in a legal proceeding. The suspect has subsequently admitted to the crime.
The commandant said, ” Mr. Abraham Achibong age 40 years, a farmer was arrested for molesting his daughter who is now 14 years old, since she was eight years old. This had been going on for six years until a few days ago when the girl (name withheld) summoned the courage to confide in her teacher when the Ondo State Primary Health Care officers visited her school on a sensitisation programme on Human Papilloma Virus vaccine.
“The suspect has since confessed to the crime, and he would be prosecuted in the law court for his crime of rape, molestation, and incest.”
