The Rivers State Police Command have arrested a 30-year-old man, Musa Abubakar from Jigawa State, for defiling his step daughter in Rupokwu, Port Harcourt.
The suspect who admitted to the crime at the State Criminal Investigation Department on Wednesday stated that he indulges in the crime whenever his wife refuses to give him sex or complains of tiredness.
According to the victim, her stepfather had been defiling her since she was 4 by sticking his finger in her private part. She said she was too afraid of telling her mother because she was seriously beaten the first time she told her.
She stated that she had to open up again after her mother assured her she would not be beaten.
Spokesperson of the Rivers Police Command, Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed the incident and said that the law will take its course against the suspect.
