Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court have sentenced a head teacher, Benjamin Ogba to double life imprisonment for defiling two underage girls, both seven years.
Justice Abiola Soladoye held that the prosecution proved beyond doubt the ingredients of defilement to the satisfaction of the court.
According to her, the convict is a serial paedophile, and his testimonies are pack of lies.
The Judge also praised the two survivors for their courage to have spoken up in court against their assailant.
She said that sexual abuse of any sort must be reported and not swept under the carpet.
Soladoye further urged parents not to relent in reporting sexual abuse cases to the appropriate authorities.
The State Counsel, led by Mr Olusola Soneye, called three witnesses while the defence counsel called four witnesses during trial.
The prosecution submitted that the convict, sometime in the months of April and May 10, 2019, at Shalom Private School, Oke-Ira Road, Ebutte Metta in Lagos, the defendant defiled the two survivors by having unlawful sexual intercourse with them.
“The defendant, having been found guilty of the two counts bordering on defilement, is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment on each of the counts.
“The sentencing, will however, run concurrently and his name be registered in the sex offences register as maintained by Lagos State,” she said.
