I’m in love with my father
Police operatives at the Ekeki Police Station were shocked to their marrows when the pregnant victim declared she was in love with her father.

However, the GRIT said it will collaborate with the Ministry of Women Affairs to offer psycho-social support to the victim to ensure that she is well-taken care of until delivery.

She said: “Abortion is not an option and the two brothers have been handed to their family member for proper care.

“The girl will be in government custody and she needs to go back to school. Her dream is to be a musician and we will encourage her.”

Also speaking, Mrs Mary Accrah Pekeowei, called on residents of the state to be vigilant and alert the GRIT and other gender advocacy groups in the state of any case of girl child violation or molestation in any form.

She said: “Members of the public should always speak up and reach out to relevant authorities.”
