โ€œAs a neighbour, most disturbingly, you engaged in sexual intercourse with her twice, showing a calculated and persistent pattern of abuse,โ€ he said.

He concluded that the prosecution successfully proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Udoh committed the offense.

According to him, the impact of the convictโ€™s actions is severe and far-reaching, as the defilement led to an unwanted pregnancy at a young age.

Oshodi said, โ€œSection 137 of the Criminal Law prescribes life imprisonment for the offence of defilement, reflecting societyโ€™s utter condemnation of such an act and its determination to protect its most vulnerable members.

โ€œThis sentence serves as a deterrent to others contemplating similar crimes against children.

โ€œI, therefore, sentence you to life imprisonment under Sections 33 and 38 of the Lagos State Domestic and Violence Agency Law, 2021.โ€

He further stated that the convictโ€™s name should be recorded in the Lagos State Sex Offenders Register.

The prosecution team, led by Lagos State counsel Mr. Babajide Boye, presented three witnesses during the trial: the minor survivor, her grandmother, and a social worker.

The convict served as the sole witness for the defense.

The prosecution argued that the offense was committed in January 2020 in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos.

According to the Lagos State Government, the offense violates Section 137 of the 2015 Criminal Law.
