     Justice Abiodun Akinyemi of the Ogun State High Court, Abeokuta, has  sentenced  a 47-year-old secondary school teacher, Ojo Ezekiel, to life imprisonment for raping a seven-year-old minor . 

    The convict, Ojo Ezekiel, who was first arraigned on July 1, 2022, faced trial for the heinous crime under the provisions of the violence against persons (prohibition) law of Ogun State 2017.

    The prosecution presented compelling evidence, leading to Ezekiel’s conviction on a sole count of rape.

    According to Mr Olusegun Olaotan, the prosecuting counsel, the victim’s mother noticed something was amiss with her daughter’s private parts while bathing her.

    Upon questioning, the seven-year-old disclosed the repeated sexual abuse by Ezekiel.

    During the trial, the victim bravely testified against her abuser, recounting how Ezekiel would pull aside her underwear and insert his finger into her vagina.

    Medical evidence presented by a doctor confirmed the sexual assault, further strengthening the case against Ezekiel.

    The victim revealed chilling details of the abuse, stating that Ezekiel would carry out the despicable act inside his car parked under a tree after school hours, warning her not to disclose the abuse or face consequences.

    In his final submission, Olaotan urged the court to deliver justice, emphasizing the overwhelming evidence against the defendant.

    He highlighted the victim’s consistent testimony, supported by medical findings and corroborating evidence from her mother.Justice Abiodun Akinyemi, acknowledging the prosecution’s case, declared Ezekiel guilty of rape and sentenced him to life imprisonment.

    The ruling serves as a stern warning to perpetrators of sexual violence and underscores the judiciary’s commitment to protecting the rights of minors and delivering swift justice in cases of abuse.
