Court sentences man to life imprisonment for defiling 2-yr-old girl
An Ogun State High Court sitting in Abeokuta has passed a verdict sentencing one Adekunle Olalere to life imprisonment for defiling a two-year-old girl in Ogun.
The 35-year-old Olalere was declared culpable of the offence and convicted him for having unlawful sexual advantage of the innocent girl.
Olalere, a resident of 18 Bashorun Street, Olowotedo, Mowe, had pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Passing his verdict, Justice Abiodun Akinyemi, on Tuesday, averred that the evidence brought before the court by the prosecution was tenable.
Based on the evidence, the judge said he found and held that “the convict had sexual intercourse with the child and is guilty as charged.”
The Informant247 gathered that the Assistant Chief State Counsel, Mrs Oluyemisi Aruleba, had apprised the court during proceedings that the convict committed the offence, thereby contravening Section 32 of the Child Right Law of Ogun State, 2006.
She revealed that the victim’s mother was living with the convict, helping his wife to sell foodstuffs and other items.
In his submission, Aruleba said that one day, the mother returned home and found out that her daughter had been sexually assaulted by the convict.Court sentences man to life imprisonment for defiling two-year-old girl
