I slept with my three daughters for seven years – Father

A 54-year-old father in Asaba, Delta State, Edward Odega, has confessed to defiling his three children.

Odega, who has been arrested by the police, disclosed that he had been sleeping with his children for the past seven years.

In a short interview with our correspondent at the police headquarters in Asaba on Saturday, Odega said, “I have three daughters, and I started sleeping with my first daughter when she was 12 years old.”

He also admitted to sleeping with two others who are 13 and 15, respectively for the same period of time.

The spokesperson for the police, Bright Edafe, said one of Odega’s daughters informed the police about the incident.

He said, “The command has arrested a father who had been defiling his three daughters for the past seven years. The three children are now aged 13, 15, and 24.

“The act was made public after DPO Ogborikoko division CSP Temi Agbede Zuokumor, who went on a school outreach on enlightenment, encountered a child who spoke up, which eventually led to the arrest of the father.”

Edafe said that the three children are currently at the hospital undergoing medical check-ups.(punch)
