..JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED ⚖️_
Justice Rahman Oshodi, of the Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Tuesday, 14th January, 2025, convicted and sentenced an Arabic teacher, Oladosu Sakiru, to 21 imprisonment for defiling a 13-year-old pupil.
His name will be registered in the Sexual Offenders Register as maintained by Lagos State.
The trial judge, Justice Rahman Oshodi, sentenced Sakiru following his guilty plea to the amended two counts of attempted sexual assault by penetration and indecent treatment of a child.
Oshodi said “As an imam and an Arabic school teacher, you occupy a position of significant trust, that trust extended not only to the 13-year-old child, the one you victimised but also to her parents and the entire community who look to you for spiritual and moral guidance.”
According to the prosecution, the offences committed violated Sections 135 and 262 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
Sakiru was therefore sentenced to 14 years imprisonment on count one and 7 years imprisonment on count two and both jail terms would run consecutively.
