When the truama became unbearable for her, she reportedly opened up and her father was arrested. He was later taken to the Gender Section of the Police Command.
P.M.EXPRESS scooped that Ashiedu initially denied but when his daughter was brought befors him, he became ashamed and opened up blaming it on the devil.
However, the police found him culpable and charged him before Ogba Magistrates Court for defilement.
But the court did not take his plea after the prosecutor, Inspector Benson Emerhi, informed the Court that the defendant was the father of the victim as such needed DPP’s advice.
