Father Bags Life Sentence For Defiling His 3 Daughters

Court has sentenced a Lagos resident to life imprisonment for defiling his three daughters.

Gatekeepers News reports that the daughters were said to be aged 10, 20, and 24, respectively.

On Thursday at an Ikeja domestic violence and sexual offences court, the Judge, Abiola Soladoye, held that the prosecution proved the case of defilement and rape brought against the defendant, beyond a reasonable doubt.

“Evidence before the court shows that the prosecution has proved the case of defilement and rape before this court,” the judge said.

“The defendant, who is the father of the three daughters, is found guilty as charged, as the burden of proof has been discharged.

“This is a very sad case. It is a disgrace to parenthood.

“The defendant ravished his own daughters in turn, committing incest. It is rather shameful and most perverted.

“The defendant is hereby found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment on count one.

“On count two, he is sentenced to life imprisonment and on count three, he is also sentenced to life imprisonment.”

Soladoye noted that the sentence would run concurrently, and ordered that the convict should have his name written in the Lagos state sexual offenders register.
