A 20-year-old factory worker, Friday
Solomon, is to spend the next 10 years in prison for defiling his cousin’s
10-year-old daughter. Solomon was found guilty of the offense
yesterday by an Ogudu Magistrate’s Court in Lagos.
The magistrate, Mrs. O. Sule-Amzat, who
handed down the judgment after the accused pleaded guilty, said the sentence
was without option of fine.
The prosecutor,
Lucy Ihiehie, had told the court that Solomon committed the offenses on
February 18, 2017 in the Ketu area of Lagos State. According to a report from
Daily Trust Newspaper, Ihiehie, further said the victim’s mother on that fateful
day received a phone call in the evening with the caller asking her to rush home
quickly as it is an emergency.
“When
the complainant got there, she saw her daughter bleeding from her private part.
The little girl told her mother that Solomon, a cousin of her deceased father,
came to the house when she was doing her homework with her siblings and
forcefully had carnal knowledge of her,” she said.
