By Moji Eniola

Adegboyega Adenekan, 47, Chrisland  School, Lekki, Lagos supervisor was  jailed 60 years today for defiling a 2-year-old child.

Justice Sybil Nwaka of an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court  handed down the sentence, convicting  Adenekan on a count charge of defilement.

She held that evidence before the court showed that the supervisor was guilty as charged.
 Adenekan was a supervisor  at the Chrisland School, Victoria Garden City, Lagos State.
He pleaded not guilty on arraignment on Jan. 29, 2018.
 “This defendant is conscienceless, wicked, an animal, and not fit to walk on the streets.
“I hereby sentence Adegboyega Adenekan to 60 years’ imprisonment. This is the sentence of the court,” the judge held.
Nwaka said that schools  should not only be interested in economic gain but the welfare of pupils.
“Schools should not cover up teachers who sexually abuse children.
“Parents should not be carried away by  aesthetics of schools. This case may just be the tip of the iceberg as a lot of our children are suffering in silence.
“Parents should be bold enough to confront teachers and school management because a lot of our children are suffering in silence.
“I advise or recommend that the education and social welfare ministry workers should visit schools randomly to give them a check.”
 Seven  witnesses, including the pupil and her mother, testified for the prosecution, which closed its case on March 14.
Defence called five witnesses.
