A man Mr. Sheriff Oyewole, who allegedly got a family friend’s daughter drunk at a party and raped her, was yesterday sentenced to 19 years imprisonment by a Lagos magistrate.
According to the court, the convict was found guilty of offences of rape and assault, levelled against him for having canal knowledge of the lady, whom he had known for 10 years. The incident, according to the prosecution, occurred last week in a hotel in Yaba area of Lagos.
The defendant was said to have lured the lady to the hotel after getting her drunk at a party and stripped her Unclad, recorded her Unclothedness and threatened to release the video on social media if she refused to have se x with him. Apart from these, he was said to have also soaked her cloth after the incident, while he returned the wet clothes and kept the panties in a bag. He, thereafter, escorted her to her mummy’s shop around 10p.m. On sighting her daughter, according to the evidence before the court, her mother was curious, but the victim told the court that out of fear she lied that she had a scuffle with her friends at the party.
However, her mother, who was not convinced, put pressure on her, after which she narrated the incident to the mother. But the convict, knowing the game was up, took to his heels and was apprehended by neighbours. The convict, it was gathered, threw the bag containing the victim’s bag, panties and the phone which he used to record her Unclothedness to the girl.
