A 30-year-old barber sentenced to nine years imprisonment by an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in Nigeria.
Justice Rahman Oshodi handed down the jail term after the convict pleaded guilty to the amended two counts of indecent treatment of a child and sexual assault.
The judge, while delivering the judgment, noted that the offences which the convict had entered a plea bargain agreement for were a serious offence that had caused significant harm to the young survivor who trusted him as a family member.
Oshodi, however, held that the convict had expressed genuine remorse for his actions.
The court also ordered that the convict’s name be entered in the Lagos State Sex Offences Register after conviction.
