An Ikeja sexual offences and domestic violence court, on Monday, sentenced a 65-year-old man, Igwe Ambrose, to double life jail for inserting fingers into the private parts of his tenant’s children, aged seven and 11.
Justice Abiola Soladoye held that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt the four-count charge bordering on sexual assault by penetration and indecent treatment of the children against Ambrose.
Soladoye said that the defendant was a dirty old man who fingered and touched the breasts of the survivors under the pretext of helping them with their homework.
She said that the defendant was identified and the evidence of the survivors exposed him as a bare-faced liar, untruthful and lacking in merit.

She held that, “His name is to be entered in the Sexual Offences Register maintained by the Lagos State Government.”
Earlier, the state counsel, Mrs Olufunke Adegoke, called four witnesses: two survivors, mother of the survivors and the IPO, while the abuse testified for himself. (NAN)
