Delta Police Arrest Father for Alleged Seven-Year Abuse of Three Daughters.
A grim case of alleged familial abuse has shaken Delta State after police arrested Edward Odega, 54, accused of sexually abusing his three daughters over a span of seven years. The dark secret came to light following a school outreach on child safety, when one of the girls, visibly distressed, confided in a classmate, sparking a chain of revelations that left the community reeling. Police say the victims, aged 24, 15, and 13, recounted years of abuse, which Odega reportedly admitted during interrogation, describing his actions as just an evil act. The ordeal, which allegedly began when the eldest daughter was in Primary Six, has prompted immediate intervention by authorities. The Delta State Police confirmed that the children are receiving medical and psychological support while investigations continue, with the Commissioner of Police ordering a deeper probe into the matter. The case has sent shock-waves across the state, highlighting urgent concerns about child protection and the need for vigilance within communities.
