Lagos: Islamic Cleric Sentenced to Life Imprisonment For Defiling 8-year-old Girl | Daily Report Nigeria

The Lagos State High Court sitting at Ikeja, on Monday, sentenced an Islamic cleric, Isah Mustapha, to life imprisonment for defiling an eight-year-old girl in the state.

According to the victim’s testimony, Mustapha had intercourse with her in his house in 2017 when her mother sent her on an errand.

“When I was about to get to our apartment, the defendant called me back saying he wanted to send me to my mother to collect onions from her and bring to him downstairs. So, I went upstairs to collect the onions, which my mother gave me to give to the defendant downstairs,” she said

The minor explained that after handing the onions to Mustapha and was about to return to her house, the convict called her back, noting he was not done sending her on an errand.

“He said I should enter his house, but I said no. I later entered so he would not tell my father that I disobeyed him. He then said I should take off my pant, but I said no. He later took it off himself and his trousers too, then he slept on me. He put his private parts inside me and had sex with me, she again said.

The incident became public when the victim’s mother wanted to wash her clothes and saw bloodstains on them.

Mustapha, in his testimony, admitted to sending the victim on the errand but denied matting her. He insisted that he only inserted his finger in her private parts.

The defence counsel, M.O. Ifarinde, pleaded with Justice Oshodi to temper justice with mercy as her client was a first-time offender.

However, the prosecuting counsel B.T. Boye told the judge to hand the maximum sentence to the defendant to serve as a deterrent to others.

The presiding judge, Justice H.O Oshodi, after hearing from both the defence and the prosecuting counsel, sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment.
