Lagos court sentences carpenter to life jail over defilement of primary six pupil

Tayo Akinboyewa to life imprisonment for having unlawful sexual intercourse with a primary school pupil.

However, while delivering judgment, Justice Oshodi said he was satisfied that the prosecutrix’s testimony that the defendant had sexual intercourse with her was corroborated by the medical report . The judge also said that the defendant’s confessional statement satisfied all the legal requirements of a confessional statement, as it was a direct, positive and unequivocal narration of the events that took place straight from the horse’s mouth.

“Your actions were a gross violation of the victim’s innocence, dignity and bodily integrity. You took advantage of your status as a neighbour and the victim’s young age to sexually abuse her for your gratification, with no regard for the trauma and harm inflicted upon her,” the court held. Justice Oshodi therefore sentenced him to life imprisonment. He ordered that his name be registered as a sex offender and urged the convict to reflect deeply on his actions and strive for redemption.

Lagos State government through its Environmental Sanitation Corps , yesterday, arrested 13 miscreants and 57 others for crossing the highways without using pedestrian bridges.
