The Delta State High Court sitting at Asaba has sentenced a 28-year-old father, Amechi Ogo, to life imprisonment for raping his four-year-old daughter.

The state arraigned the defendant before the High Court on a charge of rape for having unlawful carnal of his child at Asaba on May 31, 2018, contrary to Section 218 of the Criminal Code Law of Delta State.
