The Borno State Police Command has arrested a father for allegedly raping his 10-year-old daughter.
The suspect, Idris Ali was paraded last week in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital having been in the custody of the police after his neighbours in Moduganari area where he lives reported the sexual assault to the police.
The Commissioner of Police, Adoda Clement while parading the suspect said he owned to the crime.
Idris, however, who spoke in Hausa told journalists that he and his daughter’s mother had since parted ways, adding that he used to patronize sex workers whenever he had sexual urge but owing to the insurgency in the state all of the brothels, which used to be in the state outskirts had packed up.
