Uncle Michael touched my bum bum and jumped on me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mother said she thought it was just an ordinary touch until she wanted to bathe her daughter at night, and she started shouting when water touched her private parts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the prosecutrix\u2019s age, she demonstrated to the court, repeated how the convict defiled her and said in her evidence, \u2018Uncle Michael touched my bum bum and he jumped on me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defence, in its final written address, argued that the prosecutrix was coached, but the evidence before this court does not show this as the convict in his evidence said that he was alone with the prosecutrix on the day of the incident and this also corroborated the evidence of the mother that on September 27, 2019, the driver solely brought her child home at 6.00 p.m. as against the 3.00 p.m. which she usually returned home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The judge further stated that the medical examination revealed recently repeated blunt force penetration of the vagina.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that the convict\u2019s reliance on the MTN call log as a means of sexual communication between himself and the survivor\u2019s mother could not be established because no evidence was produced in regard to the call log conversation.<\/p>\n<p>The judge asserted that the amorous relationship between the convict and the survivor\u2019s mother was a lie, and even if it was true, it did not invalidate the fact that the prosecution had established the charge of defilement against him.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cExihibit P6A and P6B indicted the convict as he also confirmed in his extrajudicial statement that he was the only one with the prosecutrix in the school bus on the said date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is evident that Mowete forcefully touched the prosecutrix with his hand and penis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe totality of the evidence, prosecutrix evidence, corroborates the mother\u2019s evidence and that of the medical report also, the circumstantial evidence of the police showed that Mowete committed the offence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe prosecution has discharged the burden of proof against Mowete, and he is hereby convicted under Section 137 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State (2015).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oshodi consequently sentenced Mowete to life imprisonment and ordered that his name be registered in the Lagos State Sexual Offences Register.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cMichael Mowete, this court has found you guilty of the charge of defilement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have defiled a child, barely three years of age, and you attempted to traumatise her family by fabricating that you had an amorous relationship with her mother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mother of the child told this court that urine comes out of her daughter\u2019s vagina every 15 to 30 minutes, and this shows how far damage you have done to the child.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment, and you shall serve the remainder of your term in the Maximum Correctional Centre.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The State Counsel, Mr Babajide Boye, called four witnesses during the trial, while the defence also called four witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecution told the court that the convict committed the offence on September 27, 2010, on Okeho Street, Isolo and Lukmon Street, Ago, Okota, Lagos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justice Oshodi held that the prosecution was able to prove the charge of defilement against Mowete beyond reasonable doubt.
