Man jail for raping 2-year-old girl in Ogun
The Assistant Chief
State Counsel, Mrs Oluyemisi Aruleba, had told the court during the trial that
Olalere committed the offence on March 22, 2017, at No. 18 Bashorun Street, off
Unity Road, Olowotedo area of Mowe. According to Aruleba, the victim's mother
lived with the convict's wife where she helped her to sell foodstuffs and other
items. It was during the period that the convict forcefully had sex with the
victim.
“The victim’s mother
met her two-year-old daughter crying and noticed that she was not walking
properly. She checked her daughter’s private parts and noticed that they were
swollen.
She took the child
to the hospital, where it was confirmed that there was presence of sperm cells
in her private parts and also revealed that the child had been sexually abused
by the convict.” Aruleba said
Aruleba maintained
that the offence contravened Section 32 of the Child Right Law of Ogun State,
2006.
The convict denied
the allegation and pleaded not guilty.
The presiding judge
ruled that the evidence brought forward by the prosecution team were
overwhelming and found the convict guilty as charged.
“Based on the
evidence, I find and hold that the convict had sexual intercourse with the
child and is guilty as charged,” Akinyemi said.
The judge then
sentenced Olalere to life imprisonment.
