No wonder the Country is messed up and can’t even boast of three hours of electricity

A 61-year-old UK-based Nigerian, Anthony Adewale Sobogun, has been sentenced to 28 years’ imprisonment for multiple sexual offences against two children that spanned a period of 15 years.

The London Metropolitan Police disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

According to the police, Sobogun of Thistlewood Crescent, Croydon, was sentenced at Inner London Crown Court on Wednesday after being found guilty of 17 non-recent sexual abuse offences.

The police noted that the offences included multiple incidents of sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13 and rape of a child, committed over 15 years in the 1990s and early 2000s.
The statement added that the victims were known to the convict, who subjected them to prolonged abuse.

The statement added, “While recounting her experience, one victim-survivor shared that Sobogun had accompanied her to an abortion clinic after she had fallen pregnant with his child.

“After hearing this, officers traced the medical records, which showed the procedure had taken place. They also reviewed counseling notes, which detailed the cycle of sexual abuse she had been subjected to.
Sobogun was arrested in the early hours of 2 July 2025. He was later charged and convicted following a thorough investigation by officers who took a victim-led approach to build the trust of the victim-survivors, gathering evidence and allowing their voices to be heard in court.”

Speaking on the case, Detective Constable Charlotte Lockyer said the conviction was made possible by the courage of the victims.

“The bravery of the victims in coming forward is what brought Sobogun to justice. It’s as a result of their courage in working with officers that this dangerous man has been jailed.

“Their bravery in the face of an abuser has stopped Sobogun from causing further harm to society. Today’s result shows that no matter when the abuse occurred, justice can still be secured,” the statement quoted.
The victims, in a joint statement, said the case highlighted the prevalence of abuse often hidden by fear and stigma.

“What has come to light is deeply distressing, but sadly, it is not an isolated situation. Abuse like this exists in many communities, often hidden by family, fear, silence, or stigma,” they said.

They urged other victims to speak up, stressing that it is never too late to seek justice.

When are you going to compare ipob to bok boys..theyre all yor boys obi the friend of the upper iweka m ....man

Ipob are not in anyway comparable to boko haram,it’s like comparing Apples to Grapes

Alapereketu:

Person way be boy boy for ADC

Before the end of this year he'll join ZLP or go back to LP

So we should all keep quiet and watch Amoda Sangolere Of irabiji wreck havoc on us and our Country?

I don’t care about VDM but everything he says about Tinubu is true
The old fool is brainless and visonless

OredoPikin:

They keep pushing nonsense stuffs to frontpage,one guy fit smoke finish talk nonsense Nairaland will label him “Former strong Obidient movement member”
Nairaland is the social media hand of the APC

Tinubu has proven to be worse than Abacha

All these Abacha hate might be forced by Yoruba people self,who knows

aswani:
Feel free to stay off social media, ignore or block me.

I shall always have a opinion on yours anytime I see them.

Daalu.

Ok Boss

aswani:
Ndigbo are supporting Peter Obí en masse

Kenneth Okonkwo just seems to be more realistic in backing Atiku knowing fully well that he has a chance at a political appointment if an Atiku led ADC ticket wins. Something an Obi ticket won't.

I don’t want to waste my time with you,you are a known data boy with no life offline,don’t even quote me pls

Lithiumite:
obidients how far....nah tinubu dey give una sleepless nights.....better tell ur demigod to accept vp jeje.

It is not topic if it didn’t happen in the South East,Yoruba advisers would have swarm the thread giving unsolicited advices and ideas

If Canada bans Nigerians from entering their Country,their lie lie brothers in News and Media will twist the story and put the blames on others

People still dey travel out daily,na you dey live for slum na

SonOfDSoil01:
🤣🤣🤣pain is that you? No Ibo Muslim yet your ibo sister is crying out over intolerance…..she must be yorub Muslim I guess 🤣🤣🤣 bikonu cry small small🤣🤣

Her cry just began
When the real action go start,nobody will tell her before she will move to Ibadan,kano,katsina and any other Islamic States

SonOfDSoil01:
so being homogeneous means there are no other ethnic nationalities in your region? Which country or region is 100% homogeneous without you finding other people from other countries? NwOSU I lived along portharcourt road and I did my PPA around federal secretariat around world bank, are you satisfied now or you need more proof? 😂🤣 you can continue to live in denial just because i burst your lies

Olaniyi,you are not making any sense at all
You talking like somebody who just slammed his head in the floor
Go cry all you want,nothing like Igbo Muslim
We won’t stop y’all from slamming y’all heads on the floor but radical Islam is a no in our region
Take it to religious tolerant North

Babasonny:
Imagine there's riot , will the Muslims from the North spare these igbo Muslims?

And let’s not forget they will be on the side of Hausa Muslims,They will be silently murdering us

ledaman:
Iif you think such doesn't exist, then you need medical examination.
It clearly shows you have hatred and sentiment for Islam.

I am sorry but we don’t even hate Islam enough,it deserves more
Same religion that killed my people because of a cartoon drawn in faraway Denmark?

SonOfDSoil01:
the Hausa/Fulani woman that was killed with are children some years ago and truck of Hausa bringing food to the east and also mosque that was burnt in anambala during the horror days of ipob sit at home are what? You clowns can only deceive yourself, everyone knows your region is very hostile and intolerant of your Islam and also very tribalistic that’s why other ethnic nationalities don’t find your region attractive to migrate to and it is largely homogenous and not cosmopolitan I served in owerri and did my camp in Umuna bende Abia state and I am speaking from experience btw proudly lagos

My region is homogenous yet an hausa woman and her kids were killed,did they fall from thin air?
Taqiya and lies,suddenly every yoruba served in the East,I stopped reading there,many of you swear you have never been and will never step foot to the East but when you want to push Agenda,You all serve in Imo and Abia
Go sleep,we ain’t doing igbo Muslim shit here,the ones who accepted Muslims we all know how they all ended,Lebanon,turkey etc

SonOfDSoil01:
are ipob terrorist that have also killed Muslims and burnt mosques in SE also Muslims? NwOSU reserve tear for next years election……you will see their worst😂😂😂

Taqiya and propaganda is allowed in Islam,we all know
Now tell me location of the Mosques burnt and names of Muslims killed in Igboland

Mirasteel:
So what about Christianity?
You are an hypocrite!

In Islam everyone is one irrespective of their colors or ethnicity unlike in Christianity that it's only rich people that get the highest positions in churches etc

Go and chat that to an Arab Muslim,Arab Muslims till today still sells black Africans like common commodities
I laugh when I see “black Muslim” when the Quran specifically states that black won’t enter Paradise

doctorbabs:
ISLAM DOESN'T OWNED BY ANY INDIVIDUAL, ISLAM IS A UNIVERSAL RELIGION FROM ALMIGHTY THROUGH HIS NOBLE PROPHET (PBUH) YO ALL THE MANKIND, IS NOT RELIGION NAMED AFTER ANY INDIVIDUAL.

‪Islam is not a Religion but a civilization‬
‪if one converts to Islam,he changes his native name to Arabic names,cloths like the Arabs,learn Arabic language to pray like them‬
‪It rips one of his Original heritage and Culture and makes him basically an Arab-wannabe‬
And soon will start terrorizing non Muslims in his locality because it is Commanded in the Quran

Zehdbe:
after reading what most of you igbos are saying here do you guys still expect a northerner to vote an igbo person for president..... wuna mind go dey better keep praying for biafra

Keep voting for your Islamic brothers,we won’t accept Islam here

ledaman:
Lol! Keep decieving your self

I am not the delusional one here,it’s you who is gooning to the thought of Igbo Muslims,which by the way dosen’t exist

IBB007:
Lol…na one of the reasons why the Muslim north will never vote for a presidential candidate from the south east be this

So it has always been religious,An Igbo is not good enough to be President but can be Chief imam of Abuja mosque?

Keep the Presidency and also keep your islam,we are cool without it

PulaPower:
Dey play yourself..

An Igbo man is the current Chief Imaam of Abuja..

Hahaha
If it was an important position,would you give an igbo man?


Na so another phantom igbo girl won Islamic reciting,na only Islamic things Igbo dey good to head

Andrelade:
You don't want Islam in igbo land but you are practicing your own religion freely in other people's land .
Are you people crazy or what ??

Who stopped you from slamming your head on the floor in the East,but bribing our people to join Islam is a NO NO
