While waiting outside her classroom, the convict approached and requested her to get him food though she initially declined due to her pending meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe later followed Muyiwa to get a flask to buy the food. He led her to the office. When they got inside the office, the convict said he no longer wanted the food but needed help to mark some examination scripts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe added that Muyiwa went outside, returned and then locked the passage gate and office door,\u201d Oshodi said.<\/p>\n<p>The victim in her evidence also told the court that when electricity was restored, Muyiwa pulled down the window curtain and turned on the light, claiming the sun\u2019s reflection was affecting the office.<\/p>\n<p>She added that Muyiwa asked if she had a boyfriend to which she said no.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe suddenly pushed me down the plastic chair I was sitting on. He overpowered me and forcefully removed my trousers. I was menstruating at the time, but he removed my sanitary pad and had forceful sexual intercourse with me.<\/p>\n<p>The survivor said after he had sex with her, he said \u2018What you refused to give me willingly, I have taken it by force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ibe in her testimony testified that the survivor contacted her in November 2021, and she then interviewed the survivor.<\/p>\n<p>She also stated that she visited the crime scene and met with the school authority.<\/p>\n<p>The IPO Olufunke narrated to the court how she investigated the case.<\/p>\n<p>However, several documents were tendered and admitted in evidence including medical reports.<\/p>\n<p>Muyiwa, who is a married man and also a father of three, in his defence, denied raping the survivor.<\/p>\n<p>He testified that on October 11, 2021, when he came to the college to record and submit scripts, he met the survivor who offered to help him carry his bag, upon reaching the gate.<\/p>\n<p>The convict told the court that he asked her if she could help record scores which she agreed. But she informed him that she had a meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Muyiwa also told the court that he asked the survivor for a relationship while inside his office and she accepted.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the relationship meant was, \u201cTo be together, to talk, relate with one another, but not for a sexual relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The convict\u2019s counsel, Dr G.O Erenta, in his final written address, had told the court to discharge and acquit Muyiwa as the evidence of the survivor was fictitious and no corroborating evidence was established.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Oshodi in his judgement found Muyiwa guilty of the offence of rape.<\/p>\n<p>He held that the survivor gave a detailed account of how the convict raped her even under cross-examination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, the convict\u2019s admission of asking the survivor for a relationship though he claimed to be a platonic relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKolawole Muyiwa, I have found you guilty of rape contrary to Section 260 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI note that you are a first-time offender with no criminal record, and you are married with three children and also served as a part-time lecturer. However, the gravity of the offence committed cannot be overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a part-time lecturer, you occupied the position of trust and authority which you abused; the victim was a student at the institution where you taught.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSection 260 of the Criminal Law proscribes life imprisonment punishment for your crime and that is what I shall give you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are hereby sentenced to life imprisonment and your name shall also be registered as a sex offender in the Lagos State Sex Offender Register,\u201d Oshodi said<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The convict was said to have committed the offence on October 11, 2021, at the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Oto-Ijanikin, Lagos State.
