42-year-old man, Daniel George, has been sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for defiling a nine-year-old girl in Akwa Ibom.
George was said to have committed the offence in February 25, 2015, and was charged to court on April 23 of the same year, but he escaped from prison custody.
The accused was later rearrested and charge to court for the same offence but denied having the carnal knowledge of the girl.
According to George, a native of Mbat Esifon in Obot Akara LGA, said he only inserted his fingers into the private part of the victim.
The presiding judge, Justice Augustine Odokwo, sentenced the accused to three years’ imprisonment with whipping.
“Parents are advised to be vigilant and watch over their female children to save the girl child from the likes of Daniel Silas George,” the judge said.
