The Ondo State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has detained three persons for alleged criminal activity in the state.
According to a statement released on Friday by the NSCDC’s Public Relations Officer, Mr. Aidamenbor Daniel, the suspects included Abraham Achibong, who was accused of defiling his eight-year-old daughter.
The other two suspects are Ojo Oluwasola and Agu Matthew.
According to the announcement, Mr. Ibiloye Oluyemi, the state commandant of the NSCDC, paraded the suspects at the command’s headquarters in Akure, the state capital.
According to reports, Achibong was detained in the state’s Ile-oluji Oke Igbo Local Government Area on suspicion of having sex with his daughter.
Oluyemi further stated that rape, molestation, and incest charges would be brought against the suspect, who had subsequently admitted to the incident.
The commandant said, “Mr. Abraham Achibong, aged 40, a farmer, was arrested for molesting his own 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 courage to confide in her teacher when the Ondo State Primary Health Care officers visited her school on a sensitization programme on the human papillomavirus vaccine.”
The commandant added that the other two suspects, Oluwasola and Matthew, were arrested for stealing and fraud, respectively.
“A professional conman (Mathew) duped one Mr. Mba Daniel of the sum of N5.94 million by impersonating the protocol officer to the governor of Enugu State. The complainant has a parcel of land acquired by a well-known person in Enugu, and compensation was promised.
“Since the compensation news went viral, the suspect approached the complainant as the protocol officer to the governor and informed him about the release of a check for N9 million for his compensation, but some civil servants need to be settled to get the check out,” he said.
He claims that after receiving N5.94 million in total, he abandoned his Akure store and left.
“The suspect was tracked and arrested at Enugu on May 16, 2024. Oluwasola, male, 28 years old, on May 20, 2024 at about 11 am in Ifeoluwa community, Shagari village, Akure, attempted to steal a vehicle within the community.
“He was apprehended by the community and handed over for profiling and investigation,” the NSCDC commandant added.
