Woman jailed for 10 years for gang-defiling neighbour’s daughter

A 27-year-old Kibera woman convicted of aiding the defilement of her former neighbour’s 11-year-old daughter after promising her a trip to Kitengela has been jailed for 10 years.

Kibera chief magistrate Joyce Gandani  found Juliana Rehema guilty of conspiracy to defile and gang-defilement.

Rehema will serve three years for the conspiracy offence and seven years for the gang-defilement. Both terms will run concurrently.

She committed the offences on May 19, 2019, in Kibera after she lured the minor into her house, intending to have her defiled by her (Rehema’s) boyfriend, who escaped to Uganda and has never been found.

She committed the offence in Silanga village in Kibera, Nairobi, after administering a substance on the minor that left her unconscious for six hours.

The girl conceived from the act, according to the judgment.

Common intention

Charges against Rehema read that “on May 19, 2019, having a common intention to (defile) the child, was in company of another who defiled the minor, contrary to section 10 of the Sexual Offences Act of 2006”

Rehema had, a day earlier, met the child, who was on her way home from school, and invited her to her house.

The girl told the court that Rehema told her that she would take her to “Dreams” in Kitengela. The judgment did not reveal what “Dreams” is.
She sought her mother’s permission without telling her that she was to visit Rehema. They had agreed with Rehema that she would go at 9am and return at 2pm.

However, the victim arrived at the convict’s house at 2pm on the fateful day where she found her with a man who was a stranger to her.

The woman served the girl tea. She was hesitant about taking the tea but Rehema pleaded with her, and she agreed.

At that point, Rehema told her she must have sexual intercourse with the man and threatened to kill her if she told anyone thereafter.

Half naked

The girl blacked out during the argument, while sitting on a chair and regained consciousness at 8pm, half naked on Rehema’s bed. The man was missing.

The victim returned home around 9pm and her mother asked her why she was late. She said she had just returned from a school trip.

The girl’s mother told the court during Rehema’s trial that she went to her daughter’s school the following day to ask about the trip, and was told there was none.

The victim only told the truth after she was punished by a teacher during questioning.

She was taken to a hospital where she was examined and found to have been defiled.

Rehema was arrested after police concluded investigations. The victim’s mother told the court that she had seen Rehema talking to her daughter the day before the crime occurred, but did not bother to find out what they were talking about.

The magistrate said although she considered Rehema’s plea for mitigation, she also considered that the minor conceived during her molestation.

40-Year-Old Man Arrested For Drugging And Defiling His Two Minor Stepdaughters In Lagos

Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 40-year-old man, Tunji Adeniran, for allegedly drugging and defiling his two stepdaughters, Ope and Ola (pseudonyms), aged 10 and 14 respectively.

Adeniran, a butcher in Ilasamaja area, had reportedly been molesting the girls, who are in Primary 5, for a long time until recently when Ola opened up to her class teacher.

It was learnt that the teacher during a class last week advised the pupils not to allow anyone touch their private parts when Ola suddenly burst into tears.

After the class, she was said to have taken the teacher into her confidence, narrating how Adeniran had allegedly serially abused her and her younger sister.

It was gathered that the state Ministry of Youth and Social Development intervened in the case and Adeniran was arrested on Tuesday.

A social worker with the ministry, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the girls had been taken for tests and placed in a shelter in Idi Araba.

The official said, “The result of defilement will be out soon. It was discovered that they have been infected and they were given drugs. According to the girls’ mother, her older daughter had once reported to her that the suspect was having sex with her. She said she also reported her husband to his family but he denied it.

“The woman however said she was not aware her husband was molesting her second daughter. The older girl said the man had been sexually harassing her for about four years. When the woman was further interrogated, she said she was tired of the marriage because the suspect demands sex every day and she could not cope with him anymore.’’

When contacted, the spokesperson for the police in the state, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed Adeniran’s arrest, adding that he would be taken to court on Monday.

“Yes, we have the case and the suspect is with us. The Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has stepped up mechanisms to reduce rape, sexual harassment, gender and domestic violence to the barest minimum in the state. These offences are inhuman and we condemn them in totality,” he said.

Court sentences man to life imprisonment for defiling three-year-old step-daughter

The Akwa State High Court, Uyo, on Wednesday sentenced a 23-year-old man, Iniobong Moses, to life imprisonment for defiling his three-year-old step-daughter.

Justice Okon Okon, who gave the verdict, described the convict as “a disgrace to humanity whose conduct fell abysmally below that of beasts.”

In his confession statement to the court, the convict said he was under the influence of alcohol.

Moses told the court that he defiled the infant by putting his fingers and penis into her private part on November 8, 2019, when his wife left for the market.

However, the judge said drunkenness was not an “exculpatory defence in law for the commission of a crime especially when it was self-inflicted.”

“The convict deserves to be put away for a long time from public glare to save innocent children from being further brutalized and ravished by him,” he added.

Moses was arraigned by the police last year.

A medical report presented by police in court showed a history of abnormal vaginal discharge and wound on the victim’s labium.

These, according to the report, were caused by sexual assault.
