Chrisland Schools Supervisor Jailed 60 Years For Defiling 2-Year-Old Pupil
Justice Sybil Nwaka of the Lagos State Sexual Offences Court sitting in Ikeja on Thursday convicted and sentence a-47-year old Adegboyega Adenekan to 60 years imprisonment for defiling a 2-year old pupil.
In her judgement, Justice Nwaka held that the prosecution had proven its case against the convict beyond reasonable doubt.
The judge held, “The basic elements to consider in this case is that the accused had sex with the child; that there was penetration; that the evidence of the child must be corroborated.
“The victim, in her evidence before the court, she said that Mr Adenakan put his mouth and his hand in her wee-wee (vagina). She also said that the supervisor put his mouth in the vagina of her best friend, Jenita.
“The little girl said that Adenekan covered her mouth when she attempted to shout. And that he (defendant) defiled her twice inside the school premise; at his office and at the hallway”.
According to the judge, the evidence of the child that the defendant defiled her twice was evidently corroborated by the medical report from Mirabel Center.
“I have no doubt in mind that this defendant, Adenekan is the same person the victim said put his hand in her vagina and therefore, the defendant is hereby convicted accordingly.
“The defendant is hereby sentenced to 60 years imprisonment,” Nwaka ruled.
Adenekan, who was arraigned before the court on January 29, 2018 by the State had pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The prosecution alleges that the convict committed the offence sometime in November 2016 at Chrisland School, Victoria Garden City (VGC), Lagos.
According to the prosecution, the defendant defiled the complainant by having unlawful sexual intercourse with her.
The offence, according to the prosecution, violated Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011, which recommends a life sentence for anyone convicted of defiling a child.
It was a celebrated case during which the toddler testified before the court giving a graphic description of how she was molested by the convict, she said about him: ‘He put his weewee in my wee”.
