For not being able to control his libido and unbridled lust for the opposite sex, an Osun State High Court has sentenced one
Kolawole Obafemi to life imprisonment for raping a pregnant woman.
This was contained in a statement on Wednesday by
an information official of the state, Mr. Opeyemi Bello.
The statement said Justice A. B. Abdulkareem
ordered that the convict should also be whipped.
The judge convicted Obafemi of one count charge
preferred against him in the court.
The victim had told the court that on September
15, 2007, Obafemi came to her residence at about 7.30pm.
The statement did not explain the relationship
between the duo, but it stated that the convict beat up the victim and tore her
clothes.
It read in part, “He (Obafemi) tore her panties
and had unlawful carnal knowledge of her. He plucked out her pubic hair and put
then in her mouth to drink with dry gin.
“The medical report obtained from LAUTECH
Teaching Hospital confirmed that she was raped. She was also pregnant as of the
time of the incident.
“The court held that the prosecutor Mrs. Rachel
Ojimi, a chief state counsel from the ministry of Justice, was able to prove
the case beyond reasonable doubt.”
