The Ikeja Lagos Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Wednesday sentenced 25-year-old teacher, Chukwunonso Okafor, to life imprisonment for sexually abusing a three-year-old child at his workplace.
Justice Abiola Soladoye convicted Chukwunonso on three counts, ruling that the prosecution had successfully proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
On the first count, Justice Soladoye sentenced Chukwunonso to life imprisonment for sexual assault, specifically for inserting his penis into the victim’s vagina, an offence contrary to Section 261 of the Criminal Law, Chapter 17, Volume 3, Laws of Lagos State 2015.
