The Albino Foundation Public Notice
Justice Abiola Soladoye of the Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, on Wednesday, convicted and sentenced a bricklayer, GaAbriel Awaye, to life imprisonment for defiling a 13-year-old girl in his room.
The judge held that the prosecution was able to prove the ingredients of the two counts of defilement and sexual assault against the convict.
Justice Soladoye held that Awaye, by his audacious sexual recklessness, was not fit to be in the community of civilised people and should be locked away for life.
While delivering her judgment on Wednesday, she stated that the survivor was lucid and unambiguous while giving her evidence before the court.
The judge further stated that the survivor’s evidence also corroborated with other prosecution witnesses.
“The Prosecution Witness One (survivor) testified before this court that she was at her grandmother’s place when her friend, Rofiat, told her that her sister sent for her.
“The witness said when she got to the place, she did not meet her sister but saw the convict who pushed her onto the mat and sodomised her.
