The prosecutor, Inspector Taiwo Oniyere, told the court that the defendant committed the offence on November 26, at 10.20 p.m., at his residence located at No 20 Igboniki Street, along LAO, Akure, Ondo State.
He alleged that Udoh, on several occasions forcefully had s3xual intercourse with his 11-year-old biological daughter, which caused the victim harm.

The victim, who narrated her ordeal to journalists revealed that her father, Udoh, had often had s3xual intercourse with her in his room, and most of the time would threaten to k!ll her if she opened up to anyone.
“My father has been forcefully having segxwal intercourse with me through my front and my back,” the victim narrated.
"He started it when I was 10 years old and I cannot count the number of times he has done it.
"Whenever my father was sleeping with me in the night, he would increase the volume of his MP 3 radio, so that my voice would not be heard by neighbours around
"He instructed me not to tell our neighbours about it and also threatened to k!ll me and the person
“When I noticed that blood was coming out of my anus, which is now causing discomfort for me, I decided to tell his sister.”
According to the charge sheet, the offence committed contravenes Sections 25(a) and 86(2) of the Ondo State Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Law of 2021.
The plea of the defendant was not taken due to the nature of the offence.
