  • A man has been handed a life sentence for defiling two underage girls in Lagos.

  • Benjamin Ogba, a head teacher has been sentenced for reportedly defiling two 7-year-old pupils.

A head teacher, identified as Benjamin Ogba has been paraded before the Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court for rape of two minors.

While sentencing the accused, the presiding judge, Justice Abiola Soladoye noted that all evidence of the defendant were not concrete enough to prove his innocence, describing him a “serial paedophile”. 

 

The judge added that the evidence evidence of the defence witnesses was tainted with lies, which did not hold water.

The prosecution counsel, who brought in four witnesses, revealed that the defendant committed the crime at Shalom Private School, Oke-Ira Road, Ebutte Metta in Lagos between April and May 10, 2019.

 

The judge said,

The convict and his fellow defence witnesses were not truthful and credible in their testimonies, during the trial. Their testimonies were a pack of lies and fell asunder like a pack of cards,” 

 

This serial paedophile, a head teacher, who is expected to teach his students morals, stooped so low and defiled the underage girls. What a shame!

“This irresponsible and randy teacher, who teaches his students nonsense, should be locked away,” she ruled.

The judge also praised the two survivors for their courage to speak up in court against their abuser.

She also advised parents to keep extra eye on their wards, and not to relent in reporting any form of sexual abuse.

Continuous education and awareness of this issue of sexual menace must be at the forefront of all stakeholders in the administration of justice to advocate the rights of young children.

“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 registered in the Sex Offences Register as maintained by the Lagos State,” she said.
