Olamide Ayodele, a 27-year-old electrician from Lagos, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for raping an 8-year-old daughter of his benefactor.

The judgment was made by Justice Abiola Soladoye at Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Tuesday.

According to Punch Newspaper, the victim was sleeping when the electrician walked in silently, covered her mouth and raped her multiple times.

Thereafter, the grandmother saw her in a pool of blood and then reported the case to the Police immediately.

The judge stated that the evidence against the electrician was consistent and irrefutable, hence the sentence.

Full Verdict of Justice Abiola Soladoye on the Case

Justice Abiola Soladoye said, “The defendant is immoral, a mega liar, ungrateful, unkind, ruthless and rash in his conduct considering the survivor’s father picked him from the streets and treated him like one of his children.

“The court particularly noted that the attempts of the defense to pin the offense on the survivor’s brother were unsuccessful.

“The attempt of the defense to also mislead the court by stating that the evidence of the survivor’s brother was expunged when in fact it was not. This was a complete misrepresentation of the records of the court.

“Lastly, the evidence of the defendant was wrought with lies and unreliable as he desperately sought to distance himself from the alleged offense.

“I am satisfied that the prosecution has proved the ingredients of defilement against the defendant.

“I hereby find the defendant guilty as charged; he is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment.”

IkejaBird gathered that the convict committed the offense on January 19, 2020, around 3pm on Ofini Street, Ijaiye, Meiran, Lagos.
