A man identified as Nurudeen Nasiru has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
He was sentenced by an Ikeja S*xual Offences and Domestic Violence Court for introducing p*rn to his neighbour’s 13-year-old daughter and s*xually assaulting her.
The convict committed the offences on February 23, 2021, about 3.45pm, on Aminu Street, Alapere, Ketu.
Justice Abiola Soladoye held that the prosecution had proven the two-count charge of defilement and indecent treatment of a child against the convict beyond reasonable doubt. She held that the convict s*xually assaulted the survivor through the anus and also introduced her to p*rnographic video.
She said: “The defendant is a neighbour who goes to the room of the survivor and open his phone to show her p*rnographic videos and afterwards force her to practice what he had shown her on his phone.
“The defendant, in his confessional statement, admitted to have had s*xual intercourse with the survivor.”
Justice Soladoye consequently convicted Nasiru of the two count charge.
“On count one of s*xual assault by penetration, the defendant is sentenced to life imprisonment.
On count two of indecent treatment of a child, the defendant is sentenced to seven years imprisonment. The sentence would run concurrently,” she said.
Justice Soladoye also ordered that the convict’s name be registered in the government’s S*xual Offenders Register.
