He was arraigned before Justice Lekan Ogunmoye on 5/8/2020 on one count charge of rape.

The charge reads that Daudu Jimoh on 27/9/2019 at Ilupeju Ekiti within the jurisdiction of this honorable court did rape a nine year old girl, contrary to Section 31(2) of the Child’s Rights Law, Cap. C7, Laws of Ekiti State, 2012.

The victim in her evidence before the court said, “I attended a nursery/primary school in Ilupeju Ekiti, Baba cooler (the convict) was our landlord, he has been having sex with me for four times before my sister caught us on that day.

‘’Whenever he had sex with me I am always afraid to tell my mother because he had warned me not to tell anybody or else I will die.”

The prosecutor, Julius Ajibare, called four witnesses and tendered defendant statements and medical reports as exhibits to prove his case.

The convict who spoke in his own defence through his counsel, Chris Omokhafe, confessed to have committed the offence but denied penetrating the victim’s vagina.

Justice Ogunmoye in his judgment said the confessional statements of the defendant, both written and oral showed without equivocation that the defendant indeed committed the offence.

‘’In all, the prosecution had proved his case beyond reasonable doubt against the defendant as charged.

The sole issue for determination is resolved in favour of the prosecution. He is convicted as charged. He is sentenced to life imprisonment.’’
