The judge said the convict lied throughout his defence.
Sonaike said, “The fact that the defendant committed these offences within a three-month interval shows that maybe there are more victims who, because of shame, failed to come forward.
“The defendant used his employment to rape unsuspecting passengers. This is an unforgivable crime.
“This case is an eye opener. There is a need for the government to overhaul the recruitment standard so that parents will be assured when their young girl boards a vehicle”.
Reacting to the judgement, the deceased’s elder sister, Onapemipo Damilola, called for the arrest of all those who conspired with the driver in her sister’s murder.
Damilola noted, “The accomplices in the matter should be provided.”
Praising the judge, she noted that Justice Sonaike delivered the judgment without bias, describing it as fair and commendable.
The sister said the judge, being a mother herself, understood and shared in their pain.
She noted, “The judgment was not biased. The judgment was accurate. We thank her so much. She deserves to be praised.”
When asked about possible compensation from the Lagos State Government, Damilola responded that no such offer had been made.
Damilola said, “They never talked about any compensation.”
