“In the petition, the victim alleged that her father had been s*xually ab*sing her since when she was 14-years-old. She stated further that all her efforts to stop her father from this ignoble act fell on his deaf ears hence her report.
‘Upon the report, the suspect was promptly arrested. On interrogation, the suspect confessed to the commission of the crime, but pleaded for forgiveness from his daughter,” the statement by DSP Oyeyemi added in part.
