A scrap seller, Nasiru Usman, was on Monday convicted and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment by an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, for sexually assaulting and indecently treating a four-year-old baby (name withheld) in his shop.
Justice Rahman Oshodi handed down the verdict following Usman’s plea bargain agreement to the amended three-count charge of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault and indecent act.
The judge, in his judgment, held that he was satisfied that the convict understood the nature of the offences he had pleaded guilty to.
Oshodi thereafter sentenced him to seven years on count one, three years on count two and two years on count three. (Punch)
