Delivering judgment, Ms Soladoye said the prosecution had proved every ingredient for the offence of defilement. She described the prosecution witnesses as “compelling and convincing.”
“This is contrary to that of the defence, which was rather shallow and full of fallacy. The evidence of the defence witnesses were merely self-serving”. Information Guide Nigeria
The judge admonished parents to stop sending their children to stay with relatives and advised that they plan their families by giving birth to the number of children they can afford.
“The defendant maltreated the victim (his wife’s niece) by defiling her. The conduct of this so-called in-law is hurtful and demeaning. Where is the defendant’s humanity and moral compass?” stated the judge. “This case is a reflection of sexual lawlessness that occurs within the family circle. The defendant must be duly sanctioned in the hope that this will serve as a deterrent to others to not toe the line of sexual misconduct”. jamb results
