MAN, 58, BAGS 60 YEARS IMPRISONMENT FOR DEFILING 6 YEARS OLD GIRL



The newly inaugurated Ikeja Special Offences and Sexual Court, Lagos State yesterday sentenced a 58-year-old man, Obinna Izegben, to 60 years imprisonment with hard labour for defiling a six-year-old primary school pupil.
Justice Sybil Nwaka gave the verdict after the accused Izegben was found guilty of the charge of defilement brought against him by Lagos State. 

 He held that “this defendant is charged with the offence of defilement of a child, contrary to Section 137 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.

 “Upon his plea of guilty, the prosecution stated the fact of the case and it was established that he was found guilty of the offence. 

 I cannot agree less with the prosecution, because of the rate at which men in large number defile children.” 

 ‘Children no longer safe’ 

 Justice Nwaka further said that children are no longer safe with uncles, teachers and even fathers. 

 He said: “This is sad. I encourage children to come out and report all cases of assault and defilement against them. The state of Lagos has zero tolerance for defilement.

 “I, hereby, sentence the defendant to 60 years imprisonment with hard labour,” Justice Nwaka pronounced. His conviction is the first since the inauguration of the special court on February 1.

 According to the prosecution, led by Mr. B. T. Boye, the convict was arraigned on February 12, alongside two others, Raimi Jimoh, first defendant, and Kazeem Olohunwa, second defendant, on a three-count charge bothering on defilement. 

 He pleaded guilty while the two others denied the charge.

MORGUE ATTENDANT FONDLE LATE GHANAIAN ARTISTE, EBONY REIGN'S BOOBS IN LEAKED VIDEO

Ghana is gradually becoming a jungle where decency has been thrown to the dogs. Since Ebony Reigns died, several unpleasant things have not only been said about her, indecent pictures have been circulating and it keeps getting disgusting each day. A video is circulating on social media and it has gotten Ghanaians so angry that even Bullet the manager of the late singer has threatened to sue the Bechem Government Hospital in the Brong Ahafo Region. Photo of the man who abused the corpse: The video shows a man in the morgue standing over the two corpses of Ebony and Franky Kuri. Both are n*ked and the video shows the man handling the bodies whilst he talks to some companions off camera. As to why they would do what they’re doing is already disturbing, but that they even took videos of the episode makes things 100 times worse. We can’t show the video (obviously) but honestly this is disgusting and those involved must really be punished. Photo of late Frankie K
