Ondo farmer arrested for defiling 8-year-old daughter
In Ondo State, one Abraham Achibong has been apprehended for allegedly defiling his eight-year-old daughter.
Achibong was arrested by the Ondo State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps.
The security outfit also announced the arrest of two other men for their alleged involvement in criminal activities in the state.
The development is contained in a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Aidamenbor Daniel.
The other suspects were Ojo Oluwasola and Agu Matthew.
According to the statement, the state Commandant of the NSCDC, Ibiloye Oluyemi, paraded the suspects at the command’s headquarters in Akure, the state capital.
Achibong was said to have been arrested for allegedly having sexual relationship with his daughter in the Ile-oluji Oke Igbo Local Government Area of the state.

Oluyemi added that the suspect, who had since confessed to the crime, would be prosecuted for rape, molestation and incest.
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. 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 sensitisation programme on the human papillomavirus vaccine.”
The commandant noted 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 N5.94m 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 a 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 cheque of N9m for his compensation but some civil servants need to be settled to get the cheque out,” he said.
According to him, after collecting a total sum of N5.94m, he closed down his shop in Akure and fled.
“The suspect was tracked and arrested at Enugu on the 16th of May, 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.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.
The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.
He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.
His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.
“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.
“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.
“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
