The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Kwara State Command, has arrested a 40-year-old man, AbdulRauf Ambali, over allegations of incest, sexual abuse of his 14-year-old daughter and procurement of abortion.

The command disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday by its Public Relations Officer, Ayoola Michael.

According to the statement, the suspect was arrested following information provided by residents of Alapa in Asa Local Government Area of the state.

The NSCDC said the matter was first reported at its Alapa Divisional Office on June 16 before it was transferred to the Gender Unit for further investigation.

The command said the case came to its attention after the suspect reported that his daughter had been missing for about three weeks.
