An Ikeja Magistrate’s Court, yesterday, sentenced a 45-year-old commercial motorcyclist and husband of two wives, Alabi Bakare, to five years imprisonment for raping three minors.

Magistrate A. Isaac, who handed the verdict, said the sentence would be without an option of fine.
He said since the accused had pleaded guilty to the offence, the court had no option than to sentence him as charged.

The News Agency of Nigeria,NAN, reports that the accused, who was arraigned on August 8, had pleaded guilty to a charge of having carnal knowledge of the minors aged between three and five.

Earlier, the prosecutor, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Barth Nwaokoye, told the court that Bakare raped the minors on August 3 at 7 p.m. at 19, Oluwakemi Street, Alapere, Ketu area of Lagos metropolis.

“Bakare was caught in the act by a co-tenant, who reported the matter to the police,” he said.
He said the offence contravened Section 137 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State.

If only the law makes provision for castration in cases such as this.

Only 5yrs? Man that stole yam got more than this nau. Haba it goes to show how men don't care much about women and children. After 5yrs or maybe less he will be out while these kids....hm after they wonder why women are loose. Man rapes, gets 5yrs or less.

More to this, my thinking though.
