An Ikeja sexual offences and domestic violence court in Lagos has sentenced one Igwe Ambrose, a 65-year-old landlord, to double life imprisonment.

Ambrose was found guilty of inserting fingers into the private parts of his tenant’s children.
He was arraigned on a four-count charge bordering on sexual assault by penetration and indecent treatment of a child.

The survivors are aged 7 and 11.

The court said the landlord committed the offences at Shagari estate, Ipaja, between January and June 2021. In her verdict, Abiola Soladoye, the judge, said the prosecution proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.
Soladoye said the survivors identified the defendant and the evidence exposed him as a “bare-faced liar”.

The judge described the landlord as a “dirty old man” who fingered and touched the breasts of the survivors on the pretext of helping them with their school assignments.

“The testimonies of the prosecution witnesses (survivors) were credible, as they cannot consent to being fingered by the landlord,” the judge ruled.

“The defendant was identified as the assailant and their evidences were corroborated by their mother and the investigating police officer (IPO) who visited the crime scene and a clear account of the assault and indecent treatment was confirmed.”

The judge sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment for count one and count two each; while counts three and four carried seven years jail term each.

“Counts one and two carry life imprisonment each; the defendant is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment on each of the count charge,” Soladoye added.

“In respect to counts three and four which carry seven years jail term, the defendant is hereby sentenced to seven years imprisonment on each of the count charge.

“His name is to be entered in the sexual offences register maintained by Lagos state government.”

Throwback:
As an adult male, learn to stay away from young kids who are not your relation. As in, never let them into any house or room you occupy.

Most especially as a landlord, avoid the kids of your tenants, especially that tenant who is not ready for peace in the house. Never be found helping the children with any task or assignment.

I would like to know what the prosecution proved with the testimony of the children.

As for those who cannot live their lives without a pedophile perversion, better you send yourselves on exile before your crimes would send to to captivity.

Lastly, parents should be very mindful of who and where their children have access to.

There is no innocence in this world anymore. Both the accused and the accuser can easily be the victim of each other.

Even an actual pedophile can program his victims to accuse another innocent fellow of his own crimes.

@ 65, he couldn't control and discipline himself.
And minors was his easiest prey?
So unfortunate.
His house should have been confiscated and given to the parents of the abused
Afterall , he is on a journey of no return.

Crime was a rarity in Yoruba land in the 60s and 70s before those people from the land of rising crimes invaded our land.
