Landlord gets double sentence for defilement of tenant’s children
Justice Abiola Soladoye of an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court, on Monday, sentenced a 65-year-old man, Igwe Ambrose, to double life jail term for inserting fingers into the private parts of his tenant’s children, ages seven and 11.
The trial judge held that the prosecution proved the four-count charge, bordering on sexual assault by penetration and indecent treatment of a child against Ambrose case beyond reasonable doubt.
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 school 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.
“The children decided to open up to their mother, who then informed her husband; he thereafter confronted the defendant and the matter was reported to a police station.
“The police visited the scene and the defendant was invited to the police station where he denied the allegations against him.
