Lagos Man Receives Life Sentence for Assaulting Three Daughters

The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) applauds the life imprisonment sentence handed to Ademola Oladimeji for sexually assaulting his three children.

The DSVA praised the conviction and sentencing of Oladimeji in a statement shared on its verified X handle @LSdsva, on Monday.

According to NAN, Oladimeji received three concurrent life imprisonment sentences from Justice Abiola Sholadoye of the Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Monday.

In its response, the DSVA stated that justice had been served, acknowledging that the mother of the children reported the case to the agency

“The matter was reported to DSVA after the mother noted that the children, aged five, seven, and nine, complained about pain in their private parts.

“They were then referred to Mirabel Centre for medical evaluation. The medical report confirmed that all the girls had been sexually assaulted

“We commend the family of the survivors even as we reiterate the Lagos State’s zero-tolerance stance and insist that there is help for survivors,” it stated

DSVA affirms that the wheels of justice are turning, holding perpetrators accountable. NAN reported that the prosecution had five witnesses, including the three girls, their mother, and the investigating police officer

The judge found the testimonies of prosecution witnesses to be credible, while noting that the defendant’s testimony did not align, indicating an attempt to distance himself from the allegations.

The judge held that there was undeniable evidence of sexual assault involving penetration on the children, and the prosecution successfully proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the convict had committed the offense.
