A Kaiama Magistrate Court sitting in Kwara North Senatorial District has sentenced a 24-year-old man, Tashiu Aminu Lulu to five years imprisonment for using criminal charm, assault, and gross indecency on an 18-year-old girl, Halirat Ismaila.
He reportedly committed the act on 20 September 2023, at about 16.25 hours in the Woro Community of Kaiama Local Government Area of the state.
The convict was arrested by the personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Kaiama Division, based on a complaint from Halirat Ismaila who accused the suspect of criminal charm, assault and gross indecency.
According to Halirat, “The suspect called her on the phone to come over to his house. Arising from the call, she allegedly left her house unconsciously and on getting to the suspect’s house, he ordered her to pull off her clothes which she did unconsciously too.
“The suspect thereafter took a razor blade and cut some hair from her head, armpit, and private part. He commanded her to do some incantations with a calabash in her hands and thereafter had sex with her. She alleged that since then, she has been having terrible dreams.”
The suspect pleaded guilty and was handed a 5-year imprisonment at Okekura Correctional Centre, Ilorin, the state capital while his charm was publicly destroyed and burnt at the court premises.
