An Ikeja High Court on Thursday sentenced a former part-time lecturer in the University of Lagos, Akin Baruwa, to 21 years’ imprisonment for raping an 18-year-old admission seeker. reports that the judge, Josephine Oyefeso, while sentencing 45-year-old Baruwa, described his actions as heinous.“The offence committed against this young lady was a violation of her chastity which would have left huge emotional scars from which I pray and hope she will recover.
“More painful here is that the convict gave the family the impression that he was a lecturer at Unilag but his services were only needed on an ad-hoc basis by the university, the judge said. Earlier, Mrs Oyefeso said the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and that the medical evidence was consistent with the testimony of the victim.“It is interesting to note that all the graphic details he gave in court in his testimony were not contained in his statement at the Surulere Police Station.
“I find you Baruwa Afeez Akin guilty of a one-count charge of rape contrary to Section 258 of the Criminal Law of Lagos, 2011, and I hereby convict you accordingly,” she said
