Apprentice bags life imprisonment for sexually assaulting boss’ daughter

An Ikeja Special Offences Court, has sentenced Nwankwo Ifeanyi, to life imprisonment for sexually assaulting a four-year-old girl.

The convict, who served as an apprentice of the victim’s father, committed the offence at their house in June 2017.

Following a report made to the police, Ifeanyi was subsequently arrested and arraigned.

The charge read in part; “That you, Nwankwo Ifeanyi, about June 20, 2017, at 11, Joy Street, Ojo, did commit sexual assault on a four-year-old girl by putting your fingers into her private parts.”

Two witnesses testified for the prosecution, while the defence also presented two witnesses, including the defendant’s brother, Nwankwo Nnamdi.

Justice R. A. Oshodi handed down the sentence to Ifeanyi on Thursday, October 6, 2022.

The judge said; “The victim’s father deals in electronics, while the defendant is his apprentice who lives in the same house with them.

“The defendant sexually assaulted the victim by dipping his finger into her private parts, as the victim constantly complained of pain and reported to her father that the defendant did it more than once.

“She was taken to three hospitals, after which the defendant was arrested and taken to the Ojo Police Station.”

Meanwhile, CorrectNG reported in August that Nigerian singer, Davido has clashed with Dada Olusegun, a member of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), who mocked him over his uncle, Ademola Adeleke’s court woes since he won Osun Governorship election.

The Osun State 2022 Election Petition Tribunal, had granted the ex-parte applications filed by Governor Gboyega Oyetola, challenging Adeleke’s victory.

On hearing the news, Davido expressed shock via his official Twitter account and a tweep screengrabbed his post.

When Dada Olusegun, who vied for the position of APC National Youth Leader saw the tweet, he mocked OBO.

He declared readiness to join others in generally drag the DMW boss.

He tweeted; ”He shock am. Smally ???? Can’t wait till they start dragging when he drops his banger for baba. I go follow drag am.”

In response, Davido gave a savage reply by making a reference to the time Olusegun cried at the APC National Convention after he was asked to step down his ambition to be the youth leader.

A video which had gone viral weeks ago showed him crying on stage while announcing that he was stepping down from the contest to be the party’s National Youth Leader.

Davido called Dada a dummy and said he should have used a crying emoji, which reminded him of his emotional display at the convention.

”U for use this one ‘?’ reminds me of something … DUMMY,” the singer wrote.

The election tribunal ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to release Osun election materials used at the poll to Oyetola and the APC for inspection.
