Solarin, stated that the offence committed by Uche violates Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State.<\/p>\n<p>Uche, defiled the minor in his home after she came to beg for groundnuts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was at home when one small boy brought a four-year-old girl to my house to beg for groundnuts, so I decided to have sexual intercourse with her. After everything, I gave her some groundnuts. The small baby cried. I knew what I was doing was wrong but I was so eager, but I did not release inside the vagina. After releasing sperm, I became weak, surprisingly the mother of the girl came to my house to look for me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The victim\u2019s mother reported the crime to the authorities, leading to Uche\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n<p>PUNCH Metro gathered that during cross-examination, Uche presented a starkly different account of the event that happened on February 2, 2017. But once he was presented with judicial Exhibit E, a statement made by him on February 3, 2017, at the State Criminal Investigation Department, the overall case significantly shifted.<\/p>\n<p>Delivering his judgment, Justice Oshodi Ramon held that the evidence presented found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, under Sections 135i and 139 of the Criminal Law of Lagos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on the evidence presented, a statement of the IPO of the Sabo Police Command, Lagos State, a statement from the victim\u2019s mother, the police referral for medical examination, a detailed medical report from Mirabel Centre dated February 2, 2017, and the defendant\u2019s statements, I find the defendant guilty and convict him under Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further held, \u201cThis is a grave offence that carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment. The parts of this case are alarming: you took advantage of a four-year-old girl who came to you simply asking for groundnut. You exploited her vulnerability and trust, in the most heinous way imaginable. The physical and psychological harm you have inflicted on this young victim is immeasurable and likely to have a long-lasting effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He convicted the defendant on one count of defilement by penetration and sentenced him to life imprisonment, ordering that the name of the convict should be registered in the Lagos State Sexual Offences Register.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Oshodi acknowledged the convict\u2019s plea for mercy, saying, \u201cI have considered other factors like the lack of previous convictions and your plea for mercy and sentencing. However, the aggravating factors outweigh any other circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purposes of sentencing in this case must prioritise the protection of the public, particularly vulnerable children and to send a message to others. Taking all factors into account, I sentence you to life imprisonment and you will be registered as a sex offender.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The prosecution counsel, I.D.
