The prosecutor, K.S. Adeyemo called five witnesses and tendered the defendant’s statement, victim’s statement and medical report as exhibits to prove his case while the convict spoke in his own defence through his counsel Tope Salam.

Salam who prayed the court to temper justice with mercy, considering the age of the defendant, called one witness.

Delivering his judgment, Justice Ogunmoye said, the prosecutor had established before the court that the defendant had sexual intercourse with the minor without her consent and therefore committed the offence of rape as charged.

“In all, the prosecution had proved his case beyond reasonable doubt against the defendant. The sole issue for determination is resolved in favour of the prosecution, the defendant is convicted as charged.

“The sentence for the offence of rape under Child’s Right Law is mandatory, he is sentenced to life imprisonment,” the judge ruled.
