 Housekeeper defiles employer’s daughters, bags life imprisonment


Bright Izuchukwu, a housekeeper, was sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment on Monday by the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Offenses Court in Ikeja for defiling his employer's six- and seven-year-old girls.
After finding the defendant guilty of the allegations brought against him by the Lagos State Government, Justice Abiola Soladoye condemned him.
Izuchukwu was charged with two offenses that had defilement-like elements.
Justice Soladoye stated in his ruling that the prosecution had proven the elements of the defendant's crime.
"The defense's testimony is self-serving, blatantly unreliable, and untruthful, whereas the survivors' testimony was reliable, cogent, and persuasive because they correctly identified the defendant.
"The defendant showed blatant depravity by robbing the survivors one at a time and abusing the generosity of his employer.

"He has left the surviving with emotional scars. He must remain behind bars permanently. The defendant was a pathological liar who acted with haughtiness and casualness throughout the trial while lying repeatedly.

Soladoye declared that the defendant had been found guilty of all charges and had been given two concurrent sentences of life in prison.

The convict's name was to be added to the list of sexual offenders in Lagos State, the judge ruled.

The prosecution presented two exhibits and produced six witnesses in the case against the convicted party.

The convict allegedly committed the offense between 2017 and 2018 in FESTAC Town, Lagos, according to the state prosecution team, Mrs. Olufunke Adegoke and Ms. Abimbola Abolade.

According to the prosecution, the defendant unlawfully had sex with the two surviving when their parents were away from the house.
