Also in July 2021, Prophet Adeleye coerced the victim to engage in a sexual act to the detriment of her physical and psychological well-being.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe offences are contrary to Section 31(2) of the Child\u2019s Rights Law, Cap. C7, Laws of Ekiti State, 2012 and Section 4 of the Ekiti State Gender-Based Violence (Prohibition) Law, No.18 of 2019,\u201d the charge stated.<\/p>\n<p>In her testimony before the court, the victim, who described the cleric as a friend to her mother and was sleeping over in their house, said the man committed the act one night when her mother was on night duty.<\/p>\n<p>She said, \u201cHe woke me up at midnight and said I bedwetted, which was strange to me. He brought out a bottle of shea butter and rubbed it on my vagina, that was all I knew. I later discovered I had been raped that night. He threatened me that he would curse me and I would die if I told anybody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe came to our house again the following day when my mother was not around. I was in the kitchen, he told me he wanted to complete what he started the previous night. He attempted to rough-handle me, but I escaped and shouted for help following which our neighbours came to my rescue. They called and informed my mother of the incident. She came home and later reported the case to the police,\u201d the victim said.<\/p>\n<p>To prove his case, the prosecutor, Taiwo Ariyo, called four witnesses and tendered the statement of the victim and medical report as exhibits, while the defendant, who spoke in his own defence through his lawyer, Adelanke Akinrata, called no witness.<\/p>\n<p>In the court judgment, Justice Blessing Ajileye found the cleric guilty on the two counts.<\/p>\n<p>Ajikeye said, \u201cIn conclusion, this court has found the defendant guilty on the two-count charge of rape and coercion and convicted him accordingly. This will serve as a deterrent to others in the class of the defendant who have not been caught up by the nemesis of law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn count one (rape), the defendant is sentenced to life imprisonment and on count two (coercion), the defendant is sentenced to three years imprisonment. Both terms are to run concurrently,\u201d Justice Ajileye pronounced<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 47-year-old cleric was convicted and sentenced by an Ekiti State High Court, Ado Ekiti Division, on Monday.
