An Ikeja High Court on Thursday sentenced a former part-time lecturer in the University of Lagos, Akin Baruwa, to 21 years imprisonment for raping an 18-year-old admission-seeker.<\/p>\n
Justice Josephine Oyefeso, while sentencing Baruwa, described his action as heinous.<\/p>\n
Oyefeso held that the sentence should serve as a deterrent to others.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cThe offence committed against this young lady was a violation of her chastity which would have left huge emotional scars from which I pray and hope she will recover.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot begin to imagine the physical and mental trauma she has had to endure from the man whom she considered her father\u2019s friend, a community leader who should have known better. This is a shame.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a crime that not only offends the survivor, it offends her family, it offends the society at large, it also offends God.<\/p>\n
\u201cI find you Baruwa Afeez Akin guilty of rape contrary to Section 258(1) of the Criminal Law of Lagos, 2011, and I hereby convict you accordingly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn line with Section 258 of the Criminal Law of Lagos, 2011, Baruwa Afeez Akin is hereby sentenced to 21 years imprisonment.\u201d<\/p>\n
