A
Zone 2 Wuse Magistrates’ Court in Abuja on Wednesday sentenced Seyi
Balogun, 30, of Zehidu Village, Lugbe, Abuja, to three months in prison
for sexually assaulting a minor.
The Senior Magistrate, Mrs. Grace Adebayo-Eisape, sentenced Balogun without an option of fine.
Adebayo-Sisape condemned the action of the convict and said the sentence was to deter others.
Earlier, the prosecutor, Inspector
Jeremiah Elijah, had told the court that the matter was reported at the
Lugbe Police Station, Abuja, by Sunday Patrick of the same address on
January 31, 2013.
Elijah said Patrick told the police that
the convict deceived the three-year-old girl after picking her up from
school and sexually assaulted her.
The prosecutor said that the convict could not give satisfactory answers to the allegation when he was being interrogated.
He added that a doctor had confirmed that the little girl was sexually assaulted.
