Dayo Bakare, 38, was found guilty and given a 34-year prison term by an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court in Tinubu Lagos Island on Friday for kidnapping and raping a 27-year-old lady in 2012.
Bakare was punished by Chief Magistrate Adetokunbo Omoyele after she found him guilty of the charges that the police had brought against him.
On November 17, 2012, the defendant was charged with conspiracy, unlawful sexual contact, detention, kidnapping, assault, stabbing, and serious bodily harm.
Inspector Cyriacus Osuji, the prosecutor, said the court that Bakare planned to rape the victim with people still at large.
According to him, the event happened on January 24, 2012, at approximately 4 p.m. in a home on Akeem Lasisi Street in the Shasha neighborhood of Lagos State.
Osuji testified in court that the defendant unlawfully had sex with the woman and held her for eight hours.
He mentioned that Bakare had also stabbed the victim with a bottle that had broken.
The prosecution claims that the offenses violated Sections 411, 258, 144 (b), 269 (b) (1), 17, and 171 of the Lagos State Criminal Law of 2011.
However, Bakare entered a not-guilty plea.
Magistrate Omoyele judged him guilty and sentenced him appropriately eleven years after the occurrence.
She gave him a two-year term for conspiracy, a 14-year sentence for having sex with a minor without consent, a five-year sentence for holding a minor for sex with a minor, a 10-year penalty for kidnapping, and a three-year sentence for beating and indecent assault.
According to Magistrate Omoyele, the prison sentence must begin on the same day as the verdict.
