Lagos – Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court in Ikeja, Lagos, has sentenced a 39-year-old Abiodun Matthew to life imprisonment for defiling a pupil at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Women Society School.

Matthew who was charged with sexual assault by penetration, was the school’s driver while the survivor was a four-year-old pupil.

The presiding judge, Justice Abiola Soladoye sentenced the convict after establishing that the prosecution who had presented four witnesses in the trial, proved the case against him beyond reasonable doubt.

“The defendant’s defence of alibi does not fly. His stating that he was elsewhere when the act occurred is false as he was busy fiddling with the private part of the victim.

“The defendant having been found guilty as charged under Section 261 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State is hereby sentenced to Life Imprisonment with no option of fine.
