A man, Stephen Francis, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, for defiling an 11-year-old primary five pupil in his room.
Justice Abiola Soladoye, on Wednesday, held that the prosecution had sufficiently proved the three essential ingredients of defilement against the convict.
Soladoye said, “The victim, an 11-year-old primary five pupil, identified the defendant in the dock as the man who sexually defiled her when he told her his wife was calling her to run an errand for her. “The victim’s testimony was consistent and unshaken under cross-examination. The defendant stripped her naked and had unlawful sexual intercourse with her.”
