In a shocking case of alleged sexual abuse, the Akwa Ibom State Police have detained a man identified as Pastor accused of defiling his own daughter, aged 14, over the past two years, beginning when she was just 12 years old.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Akwa Ibom State Command, DSP Timfon John, took to the media stage on Monday in Uyo, divulging details of the Command’s recent accomplishments, which included the apprehension of a Pastor accused of sexually assaulting his own 14-year-old daughter, as well as the arrest of a serial sexual offender who had been targeting teenage girls, with both men now set to face prosecution for their alleged crimes.
The Pastor, after being paraded at the State Police Command headquarters for the crime, claimed that he was influenced by the devil, taking responsibility for the abhorrent conduct that had brought him to this juncture.
DSP John stated, “We have arrested one Louis Akpojotor Mevoweoyo ‘m’, a pastor from Ughelli North LGA, residing in Ibiono Ibom, for defiling his daughter (name withheld).
“Investigations revealed the suspect had been sexually assaulting the victim since she was 12 years, the latest incident occurring in December 2024. The suspect will also be prosecuted.
