A middle-aged man, Kenneth Nwangu, has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by the Children, Sexual and Gender-based Violence Court sitting in the High Court, Awka, Anambra State, for defiling his nine-year-old daughter and only child.

The judgment was delivered in a three-count brought against the defendant by the state government following compelling evidence proving him guilty as charged.

He was consequently sentenced to seven years imprisonment on count one – having sexual intercourse with a nine-year-old, an offence punishable under Section 34 of the Child Rights Law of Anambra State of Nigeria, 2004.

The court also sentenced the defendant to two years imprisonment on count two – inflicting physical injuries on his victim and one-year imprisonment on count three – causing emotional and psychological abuse on the victim.

The two offences are punishable under Sections 4 and 16 of the Violence Against Persons, Prohibition and Protection Laws of Anambra State of Nigeria, 2017.

In its ruling, the court relied on evidence presented by prosecution witnesses, including the victim, and also took cognizance of evidence that the defendant had been taking care of the victim from about one year after the mother left them, among others.

The court allowed the defendant to explain why he was raping his child and should not be given the maximum sentence of life imprisonment.


Responding, the defendant initially denied defiling his child, claiming it was a woman he usually left the child with following the wife’s separation that got him arrested by the police over the allegation.

He, however, later admitted to the crime and pleaded for leniency, and his defence counsel also pleaded for mercy of the court, on the premise that the defendant was a first-time offender and had the victim as his only child, among others.

The court ordered that the seven, two- and one-year prison terms should run concurrently and that the victim should remain in the care of the Anambra State Government.

Reacting to the judgment, the Anambra State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Sylvia Ifemeje, who led the prosecution team in the case, described the judgment as a welcome development, saying it would serve as a deterrent to other offenders.

Ifemeje stressed that the state government’s zero tolerance for sexual assaults is non-negotiable.

At first I wanted to criticize the judgment and demand that this should be life imprisonment .

Then I remembered that even 1 year alone in a Nigerian prison will change your life permanently. He will be raped so many times and he will swallow so many different types of sperm :
Infact the 10 years is overkill. He may not survive it.

I once saw a video of where Nigerian prisoners where raping a new man who just came in. They took turns cumming in his anus while making him suck on different types of gbolas

This guy no go survive 10 years of that because it sounds like he is in his early fifties

Jailed??. The punishment should increase

It serves him right.

ALL THIS RITUALIST
