Sexual Offences: We need sign language interpreters in court ―Judge vanguardnews
Justice Sybil Nwaka of Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, on Thursday, decried the dearth of sign language interpreters in Lagos, in the prosecution of sexual offences involving deaf and dumb complainants.
Requesting assistance from the Attorney-General of Lagos State, Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo , Justice Nwaka said due to a large number of cases involving deaf and dumb complainants, the court needed sign language experts to assist with the dispensation of justice. “Let the Attorney-General know that defendants need legal aid, as we also have issues with defendants not being represented in court,” she said.
The prosecution alleges that the pastor committed the offence at about 1 pm on April 27, 2016, in Shapati Town, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos.
