41-year-old vulcaniser bags life improvement for defiling wife’s niece

An Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court in Lagos has sentenced a 41-year-old vulcaniser, Wasiu Ibrahim, to life imprisonment for defiling his wife’s 15-year-old niece.

Justice Rahman Oshodi said the convict should be ashamed for defiling his wife’s niece who calls him daddy and also threatened to beat her up if she tells anyone.

The judge held that the prosecution sufficiently proved the charge of defilement against Ibrahim.

He said: “Mr Wasiu Ibrahim, for sexual gratification, you violated the survivor after your wife returned home from a burial.

“She had lived with you since she was 10, and called you daddy; yet, it did not deter you.

“You threatened to beat her up if she would tell  anyone, after having sexual intercourse with her.

“She did not inform anyone until days later, after she was found crying at the back of a classroom at the Estate Primary School, Ogba.

“The charge of defilement for which you have been found guilty carries a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment.

“I hereby sentence you to life imprisonment, and your name will be in  the Sexual Offences Register as maintained by Lagos State.”
