The Lagos State Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court sitting in Ikeja has sentenced to life imprisonment one Rasheed Wasiu for having sexual intercourse with his neighbour’s eleven-year-old daughter .
According to Justice Oshodi, “Notwithstanding the overwhelming evidence against you, you continued to deny your offence. At sentencing, you showed no remorse. In the charge dated December 7, 2018, the state government had accused the convict of defiling the survivor on or about March 9, 2018, at about 8:00 pm in the Apapa area of Lagos.
But the state government through its lawyer, Babajide Boye, insisted that it produced a direct eyewitness and circumstantial evidence to justify the defendant’s conviction for defilement.
