The witnesses were Dr. Alagbe Oyedeji’s (PW1) and Insp Adaobi Iwerebor’s (PW2), gave compelling evidence that significantly implicated the convict.

Documents were tendered and admitted as exhibits A-E3.

The court held that Oyedeji’s medical examination of the 12-year-old prosecutrix, revealed physical evidence consistent with recent forceful vaginal penetration.

Oshodi, in his judgment, held that the court was satisfied that the convict fully understood the nature and gravity of the criminal allegation against him.

According to him, the essential elements of an attempt to commit sexual assault by penetration have been established.

Oshodi said: “The defendant’s guilty plea further justifies his conviction for the lesser offence delineated in the amended information.

“I find the defendant guilty and convict him under section 262 of the Criminal Law of State.

“I have carefully considered the facts of this case, the evidence presented and the terms of the plea and sentence agreement entered into by both parties.

“You assaulted a 12-year-old child sexually but have pleaded guilty to an attempt to commit the offence.”

The judge added that the gravity of the convict’s offence could not be overstated.

According to him, the medical evidence presented in the case reveals physical injuries, consistent with forceful penetration.
