A 22-year old graduate, Femi Ayoade, will have to spend the rest of his life in prison custody for defiling a 4-year old girl inside a tricycle in Lagos State. 
P.M.EXPRESS reports that it was the judgment of the Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, which found Ayoade guilty for defilement under the Criminal Laws of the State.
The prosecution had submitted that the convict committed the offence in September 2021, at about 11.10am., at No. 19, Milestone Close, Infinity Estate, Skido Bus Stop, Eti-Osa, Lagos.
The presiding judge, Justice Abiola Soladoye, ruled that the prosecution had proven the one-count charge of defilement against Ayoade beyond a reasonable doubt and found him guilty as charged by the Police.
Justice Soladoye described Ayoade as a “criminally audacious man who turned a child’s vagina into a playground”.
“It is indeed a shameless act.The prosecution has successfully presented compelling evidence against the defendant. Consequently, the defendant is hereby found guilty of the charge of defilement and is sentenced to life imprisonment,” she held.
Justice Soladoye further ordered that the convict’s name be entered into the Lagos State Sexual Offences Register.
During the trial, the State Counsel, Mrs. Olufunke Alebiosu, presented two witnesses, the survivor and her father, while the convict testified as the sole witness for the defence.
According to the prosecutor, the offence contravened Section 137 of the Criminal Law, Chapter C17, Volume 3, Laws of Lagos State, 2015, which attracts life imprisonment if found guilty of the offence under the Criminal Law of the State.
