“On Dec. 7, NSCDC got information about the incident, from one Alhaja Mariam Bello, that the suspect raped his daughter, who is also the complainant’s adopted daughter.
“The complainant said that the victim used to live with her at Isale Gaa-Akanbi Area, Ilorin, but moved out to stay with her father, after they had a little misunderstanding.
“The Alhaja Bello adopted the victim in 2017 when her mother separated with her father and they were living happily together, until they had a misunderstanding between them.
“The victim joined her father at his place of work, where he was working as a security guard and then the incident happened the first night she stayed with him,” the statement added.
