"Convicted Rapist Receives Life Imprisonment for Assaulting 3-Year-Old Girl in Lagos"
Kehinde Gabriel was found guilty of defilement by the Lagos Sexual Offences & Domestic Violence Court in Ikeja and was sentenced to life imprisonment for his crime. The prosecution established the essential ingredients of the offence, leading to the one-count charge of defilement against him. Justice Ramon A. Oshodi, who presided over the case, noted that Gabriel lacked truthfulness and remorse for his actions, which violated Section 137 of the Criminal Law 2015. The maximum punishment was imposed on Gabriel, and his name was added to the Sexual Offenders Register maintained by the Lagos State Government.
The Domestic & Sexual Violence Agency, DSVA, reaffirmed the state's zero tolerance for such heinous crimes and urged survivors to seek help. The agency urged citizens to break the culture of silence by reporting any instance of domestic or sexual violence to its toll-free line.
