An apprentice who inserted his finger into his boss‘ four-year-old daughter’s private areas has been sentenced to life in jail.
Nwankwo Ifeanyi was found guilty of s*xually assaulting the minor in June 2017 at her parents’ house, where he also shared housing with them, by the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Nigeria.
According to reports, the victim’s father is an electronics trader, and the criminal worked as his apprentice before taking advantage of the defenseless child.
The charge read, according to Pulse.ng, “That you, Nwankwo Ifeanyi, did commit sexual assault on a four-year-old girl by inserting your fingers into her private parts on or about June 20, 2017, at 11, Joy Street, Ojo.”
The victim had been frequently victimized by the offender, who was found guilty, and she had been suffering ever since, according to Justice R. A. Oshodi, who presided over the court.
It was reported that the defendant, who shares a home with the victim’s family and is his apprentice, works in the electronics industry.
“The victim’s father deals in electronics, while the defendant is his apprentice who lives in the same house with them”, the report stated
“The defendant s*xually assaulted the victim by dipping his finger into her private parts, as the victim constantly complained of pain and reported to her father that the defendant did it more than once.
“She was taken to three hospitals, after which the defendant was arrested and taken to the Ojo Police Station,” the judge read.
He then jailed Ifeanyi for life.
