Mr Taiwo noted that the suspect had confessed to having slept with his daughter, claiming it was the work of the devil.

He added that the matter would be investigated and the suspect would be prosecuted.

The commandant explained that parents, according to the Child Right Act, had the duty of protecting their children, adding that parents and guardians should ensure they watched over their children at all times.

The suspect told reporters that he slept with the victim only once, when her mother had travelled.
