Convict added to Ekiti s3x offenders’ register for r3ping his 14-year-old stepdaughter

The Ekiti State Government has added the name of  56-years-old convicted r3pist, Jaiyeoba Oluwafemi, into the S3x Offenders Register of the state Ministry of Justice. Oluwafemi was sentenced to life imprisonment for r3ping his 14 years old stepdaughter. An Ekiti State High Court, Ado Ekiti Division, gave the order in May, 2025.  The ministry disclosed this in a public notice made available on Friday, August 8.  Oluwafemi was tried and found guilty of the one-count charge bordering on r3pe preferred against him. The charge read, That the defendant on 26th October, 2020 at Ado Ekiti did rape a 14-year-old girl, contrary to Section 31(2) of the Childs Right Law, Cap. C7 Laws of Ekiti State, 2012. In her testimony before the court, the victim, who was a primary six pupil at the time, said, My mother got married to the defendant, we were not living together, but he used to sleep in our house, especially when my mother was not at home or travelled. On 26th October, 2020, my mother travelled to Lagos and the defendant slept in our house. At midnight, he woke and forcibly had s3x with me. Thereafter, blood was gushing out of my private part. I called my mother when she returned the following morning, but he denied it. He continued the act anytime my mother was not around. I used to tell my mother on her arrival, but she did nothing about it. When he noticed that I was telling my mother about his continuous sexual activity with me, he started threatening me.” The victim said that she reported the matter to the Governors Office following a womans advice, which led to the mans arrest. The prosecutor, Julius Ajibare, called six witnesses and tendered the defendants statement and medical report as exhibits. The defendant, who was on bail two years ago, spoke in his own defence through his lawyer, Oladele Adedeji, called one witness. In the judgment, Justice Adekunle Adeleye said that the court found the man guilty of the offence. I am of the humble view that the sexual intercourse sessions were on several occasions, it was not a one-off affair. And upon careful analysis of the entire circumstance of this case, the change in story or outright denial by the defendant is an afterthought, Adeleye said.  The prosecution has established the offence of rape against the defendant beyond reasonable doubt. He is accordingly found guilty as charged and hereby sentenced to life imprisonment as provided for under the provisions of Section 31(2) of the Childs Rights Law, Cap. C7 Law of Ekiti State, 2012.”The post Convict added to Ekiti s3x offenders register for r3ping his 14-year-old stepdaughter appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
