Arabic teacher sentenced to 21 years imprisonment for attempted s3xual assault of 13-year-old female pupil in Lagos

The Ikeja S3xual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Tuesday convicted and sentenced an Arabic teacher, Oladosu Sakiru, to 21 imprisonment for attempting to s3xually assault a 13-year-old female pupil.

 

The trial judge, Justice Rahman Oshodi, sentenced Sakiru following his guilty plea to the amended two counts of attempted s3xual assault by penetration and indecent treatment of a child.

 

Oshodi, in his judgment, reprimanded the convict for breaching the trust the parents of the survivor had in him for enrolling their children in the Islamic school.

 

The judge held that the evidence before the court deduced a pattern of predatory behaviour as the convict subjected the survivor to inappropriate touching and forced himself on her. 

 

According to him, when the convict was confronted with his action, he sought refuge in the often-repeated phrase, “It was the work of the devil.”
