She added that her father started having illicit affairs with her since 2023 in a hotel located in Calabar and had threatened to kill her should she reveal this to anybody.

“She was further examined by a medical doctor in the Police hospital, Calabar and the result validated the earlier report submitted by her aunt.

“The manager of the hotel in his statement also admitted that he had seen the suspect severally with the victim in the hotel booking temporary accomodation, but never knew she was his daughter,” explained the PPRO.

While speaking with journalists, the suspect denied the allegation and appealed for him to be release to attend to another urgent matter in an Abuja court.

“I am due to appear tomorrow in a court at federal high court in Abuja over murder charges and I did not even commit what am being alleged of against my daughter,” he appealed.
