The Command’s spokesman, Caleb Ikechukwu, a Deputy Superintendent of Police who confirmed the arrest in a statement in Ado Ekiti said Davies had confessed to the crime.

“The suspect had been having unlawful carnal knowledge of his biological daughter of 12 years for over three (3) years.

“The suspect was arrested on the 29th of October, 2019 by our operatives after thorough investigation.

“However, the suspect confessed to the commission of the crime and he will be charged to court upon conclusion of our investigation”.
