“I was shouting but he did not listen to me, he removed my pant and started having sex with me. A passerby who heard my voice entered the compound and he took to his heels on sighting the man. The man chased him but he was unable to catch him. The man came back and took me to my grandmother and explained what happened to her”, she concluded.

The prosecutor, Julius Ajibare called six witnesses and tendered the defendant’s statement, photographs of the victim and medical report as exhibits to proof his case.

The defendant who spoke in his own defence through his counsel, Oluwaseun Oyebanji, called no witness.

He, however, denied committing the offence but pleaded to the court to temper justice with mercy.

Delivering his judgment, Justice Olatawura said, “In this event, the victim consistently, unequivocally and unshakingly stated that the defendant who was well known to her was the person who raped her.

“In all, I find proof beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant raped the 13-year-old girl on 25th December, 2021 and consequent thereupon, I find him guilty as charged. Consequent upon the foregoing, the defendant is sentenced to life imprisonment”, the judge ruled.
