Man, 52, Gets 21- Year Sentence In Lagos After Pleading Guilty To Incest
Akin Isaac, 52, has gotten a 21 -year sentence after pleading guilty to incest.
He had not only committed incest with his daughter but had also put the 18-year-old victim in the family way.
Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo of Ikeja Special Offences Court on Thursday declared Isaac guilty following his April 21 plea bargain application.
‘In view of the guilty plea of the defendant to one count of defilement, I hereby find the defendant guilty as charged’ Taiwo said.
The judge while delivering her ruling had added that the sentencing would take effect from June 2020 when he was arrested.
Earlier, the judge had asked the State Counsel, Mrs Omowumi Bajulaye- Bishi if the 21 years plea bargain was good enough for the convict, considering how emotional the survivor was while giving her testimony.
‘I remember the survivor clearly. She was weeping right here in the box. Abortion, pregnancy, drugs, beating and all sorts of inhuman treatment meted out to her by her father. Do you think 21 years is good enough for him? the judge had asked.
