The Command’s spokesperson, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the arrest on Saturday in Asaba.

He said, “The Command has arrested a father who had been defil!ng his three daughters for the past seven years.
“The three children are now aged 13, 15 and 24. The disclosure by one of them during the DPO’s school outreach led to the arrest of the father.”
Edafe added that the three children are currently receiving medical attention.
During interrogation, Odega confessed to the crime, admitting: “I have three daughters, and I started sleeping with my first daughter when she was 12 years old.”
He also admitted to defil!ng the other two daughters, aged 13 and 15.
Edafe noted that the suspect is “in custody” and will be “charged to court to face full prosecution” in line with the state’s laws on sexual offences.
