An Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Monday sentenced a Bricklayer, Azeez Shoderu, to life imprisonment for defiling his neighbourโs eight-year-old daughter in a toilet.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Justice Rahman Oshodi sentenced Shoderu after he found him guilty of the one-count charge of defilement proffered against him by the Lagos State Government.
Oshodi held that the prosecution successfully proved the offence of defilement against the convict. According to him, the survivorโs testimony is well corroborated with the testimony of the investigative police officer, who also testified before the court.
He said the evidence of the convict was inconsistent, and all attempts to distance himself from the offence did not hold water. (Vanguard)
