Nigerians have applauded the bravery of a 14-year-old girl who reported her father to the police for sexually abusing her.
According to the Lagos State Police Command, the girl stormed their station to demand the arrest of her 45-year-old father, one Mr Kayode Adeyanju.
The teen disclosed to police that her father has been defiling her, and on that fateful day, he made attempts to abuse her again.
