A Lagos High Court sitting at Igbosere has sentenced 28 year old Kingsley Inyang to life imprisonment for defiling a 12 year old girl.

The sentence was handed down by Justice Sedoten Ogunsanya who found him guilty of defiling the girl, contrary to Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

Inyang was said to have defiled the girl, his church member, in his home on July 26, 2015.

The girl told the court that the first time Inyang had carnal knowledge of her was on a Sunday evening after a fellowship service, after which he threatened to assault her if she told anyone.

Three days after the act, according to the girl, she and her younger brother passed his house on their way home from bible study, he beckoned on her again.

“He sent my brother outside and forced me to make love to him and said that I should not let anybody know, otherwise he was going to beat me,” she told the court.

Upon arraignment in March 2017, Inyang pleaded not guilty.

But in his judgement, Justice Ogunsanya held that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt while the accused was inconsistent in his defence.
