(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – An Ikeja Special Offences Court on Thursday sentenced a 52-year-old man, Akin Isaac, to 21 years imprisonment for defiling and impregnating his 18-year-old daughter.

In view of this statements, Justice Oluwatoyin Taiwo sentenced the convict to 21 years imprisonment following his plea bargain application, dated April 21.

“In view of the guilty plea of the defendant to one count of defilement, I hereby find the defendant guilty as charged,” Taiwo said.

Taiwo, thereafter sentenced him to 21 years in prison and added that the sentencing should take effect from June 2020 when he was arrested.
