The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, CDHR, in Delta State and policemen from the Effurun Area Command of the state have arrested a forty-two-year-old man, David Fiabe Omimi, for the alleged “serial sexual” abuse of his biological daughter.
The suspect was arrested on Friday, November 6, following a petition by the CDHR, DAILY POST can report.
The police also rescued the victim from her abuser.
The Publicity Secretary of the organisation, Nosa Oveseey, disclosed this in a statement sent to newsmen in Warri.
The statement said, “On Wednesday 4th November, 2026, CDHR Delta received a distressing report from a concerned resident of Isoko Estate Road, by Deeper Life Church, Off Jakpa Road, Uvwie LGA, Delta State.
“The report detailed the serial sexual abuse of a 10-year-old girl by her biological father, Mr David Fiabe Omimi, aged 42. According to our findings, the abuse began when the child was 7 years old.”
“The matter was previously reported by Mrs Omimi to family members earlier this year and ‘settled’ within the community without police involvement, while the suspect, Mr David Omimi, promised to desist. However, about 7 days ago, the suspect resumed the abúse.
“Acting on this information, CDHR Delta carried out immediate surveillance and on 6th November, 2026, we formally petitioned the Effurun Area Command, Delta State Police Command, under ACP Aliyu Shaba, who immediately swung into action.”
The CDHR commended the Effurun Area Commander of the Nigeria Police Force, ACP Aliyu Shaba, for his swift and professional response to their petition, noting that he acted within minutes of receiving the petition.
“The suspect is currently in detention and has made confessional statements to the police.”
The CDHR noted that, “The victim is now in safe custody and is undergoing necessary medical and psycho-social support given that her father had penetrated her both in her vagina and anus.
“This is a case of the highest form of wickedness and betrayal of trust. A father who should be a protector has become a predator.
“There will be no compromise, no settlement, and no cover-up.
“Defilement is a felony under the Child Rights Law of Delta State 2008 and the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act, VAPP 2015. It carries life imprisonment.”
The CDHR also demanded speedy investigation, diligent prosecution, and maximum sentencing for Mr David Fiabe Omimi to serve as a deterrent to others.
“We commend ACP Aliyu Shaba and the Delta State Police Command for their professionalism and urge them to ensure the case file is transmitted to the DPP without delay.
“We also call on the Delta State Government, Ministry of Women Affairs, and NAPTIP to provide comprehensive support for the rehabilitation of the little girl.
“Abuse thrives in silence. If you know a child is being abused, speak up. CDHR and the Police will protect you.
“To parents and guardians: Believe children when they speak. Watch. Listen. Report.
“To perpetrators: The long arm of the law will find you. Delta State is not safe for child abúsers.”
