The Chief Inspector indicated that Badu also stays at Kotobabi but not in the same house as the couple have divorced.
Prosecution went on to say that the victim lived with her mother until she was 12 years when she started asking about where her father resides.
The complainant (mother) then took the victim to her father and the victim stayed with him at Kotobabi.
Prosecution revealed Badu accepted the victim as his daughter and helped in furthering her education.

However, the accused began having multiple s£xual intercourse with her since last year in his room and the last one occurred on June 6, this year, said by the prosecutor.
The victim told the mother of the act and a report was made to the Police at Kotobabi and the matter was handed over to the Nima Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) for further investigation.
The accused has pleaded not guilty to the two charges.
The Court, presided over by Mrs Christina Cann, has admitted him to bail in the sum of GHC60,000.00 with two sureties, one to be justified with a landed property worth GHC60,000.00.
