Man jailed 14 years in Lagos for defiling neigbour’s daughter

-

 
Recently, the Nigerian’s Daily Newspapers have been filled with stories of increasing wave of sexual molestation of young girls in our society especially the minors.  This crime has made a lot the victims to experience various psychological problems in their lives, and those who can’t handle it ended up committing suicide.

 A case of 15- year- old girl, Comfort Uche-Ume from Isieke Community in Umuahia North Local Government of Abia State, Nigeria, who committed suicide after she was ganged- rape by four boys is still fresh. According to Punch, the deceased was JSS3 STUDENT, who just finished her “Junior WACE” examination.

 However, many parents have shown their displeasure over how this monster-crime has been continued to perpetuate against their daughters unabatedly by the opposite sex, and sometimes by old men, who are old enough to be the girl’s father. Bad enough, in some cases, fathers became the main culprits- rapists.

Investigations reveal that cases of rape have been reported in the Police Station day in, day out, while many others cases have not been reported to avoid stigmatization by the public, who may think that such a girl is wayward.

To make the matter worst, the way the rape cases are being handled by Nigerian Police in one side and in the other side by families of the victim and the rapist has left much to be desired. The culprit will walk freely in the same environment without being arrested, while the victim will be groaning with pangs of pain.

 It was against this ugly situation that made Lagos State Government to champion a course against child’s molestation of any kind. A bill was passed to make a law that will deal decisively with the offenders of rape by jail terms. Evidently, this has paid off.
 


  Today, Vanguard  reported that an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court today sentenced a 25 year old unemployed man named Ogboru Godspower, to 14 years in jail for defiling a 13-year-old daughter of his neighbour in Ikorodu, Lagos State in Nigeria.

 The prosecutor, Jimah Iseghede, told the court that the grave offence was committed on Aug. 8 at the rapist's residence. The young girl was going to take her bath when the accused waylaid her, removed her towel & defiled her according to a report.

A neighbour who saw the accused in the act quickly alerted other neighbours and he was arrested.

 The Chief Magistrate, Mr Tajudeen Elias, sentenced the rapist after he pleaded guilty to the offence. He said, 'The accused is hereby sentenced to 14 years imprisonment to serve as deterrent to others and to reform him to be a law abiding citizen.'

This sexual molestation of young children is becoming too much. Yours KEB is advising Parents to be more vigilant so that their young girls will not be a victim.

It wasn't until I invested in my personal growth that I started to see measurable success with my writing.  Now I don’t believe you need to "spend money to make money.” Nor do I think you should go into debt to pursue a dream.  But I do believe the craft of writing is worth whatever resources you have to invest. If you don’t invest in your growth, who will?   Today on the blog, I’m going to share with you   what my friend, Jeff Goins ,  a renowned writer, once wrote about    five investments that made him (and continue to make) in his writing that have meant the difference between starving and thriving, and I hope they will help you, too.                                ...
