Gideon Doe Adifu, a 40-year-old fashion designer from Agbedrafor, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison by the Sogakope Circuit Court for defiling and impregnating his 14-year-old daughter. The court, presided over by Mr. Joseph Nadaado, imposed a 10-year sentence for the charge of defilement and an additional 5 years for incest, with both sentences to run concurrently. The abuse reportedly began in 2022 and came to light when the victim's mother discovered her daughter's pregnancy. Following a medical examination that confirmed the abuse, Adifu was arrested after confessing to the charges during the trial. The case highlights the urgent need for protective measures for vulnerable children in society.
