According to the presiding judge, Justice Abiola Soladoye, the prosecution succeeded in proving the essential ingredients of defilement beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court, Lagos State, has sentenced a 23-year-old security guard, Blessing Okon, to life imprisonment for defiling a 14-year-old student.Soladoye described Okon as a shameless fellow noting that the victim was consistent in her oral testimony before the court which established that the defendant had been having sexual contact with her since she was nine years old.

He further commended the chaplain of the survivor’s school who revealed that the victim was defiled by the guard. The chaplain alerted her father about the crime. “I salute the chaplain’s courage and candour for not sweeping this case under the carpet. I wish him all the best and I do hope sincerely that others in positions of power will be able to speak up in issues of sexual abuse and report them to the authorities,” Soladoye said.
