Lagos High Court on Monday, Jan 22 2024, sentenced one Samuel Ademola Oladimeji to 3 Concurrent Life Imprisonment Sentences for Sexual Assault by Penetration of his 3 Children.

The case was reported after the mother noted that the children complained about pain in their private parts. They were brought to Mirabel Centre for medical evaluation; the medical report confirmed that all girls had been sexually assaulted.

The judge stated that the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses were strong and also stated that the defendant’s testimony did not add up because he was simply trying to distance himself from the allegations.

The court held that the children were indeed sexually assaulted by penetration and the prosecution had successfully discharged the onus of proving beyond reasonable doubt the commission of the offence.

He was then sentenced to 3 Concurrent Life Imprisonment Sentences and his name was ordered to be entered into the Lagos State Sexual Offences Register.
