A domestic violence and sexual offences court in Ikeja, on
Wednesday, sentenced one Ayodele Bailey to life imprisonment for defiling a
15-year-old girl.
Abiola Soladoye, the judge, said the case of defilement
against the convict was proved by the prosecution.
“The convict is rough and selfish. The survivor gave her
testimony truthfully, cogently, positively and brilliantly. She was brave,” NAN
quoted the judge as saying.
“The story of the defendant was full of lies. He is a
reckless and ruthless defendant.
“He is hereby found guilty as charged. He is sentenced to
life imprisonment without an option of fine.’’
The judge also ordered that the name of the convict should
be written in the register of sexual offenders in the state.
According to NAN, the prosecution presented two witnesses
against the defendant during the trial.
Olusola Soneye and Olufunke Adegoke, members of the state’s
prosecution team, said the convict committed the offence on December 18, 2017,
in Alaka, Mushin, Lagos.
The prosecution said the survivor had visited her
grandmother and was playing with other children outside the house when the
convict lured her into an uncompleted building and defiled her.
The prosecution said the offence contravened the provisions
of section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
