Court Sends Man to Jail for Defiling Minor, Impregnating Sister in Abuja

By Alabidun Shuaib Abdulrahman

INCNews247 – Kelvin Moses, a 22-year-old fashion designer, was sentenced to three years in prison by an Upper Area Court in Gwagwalada, FCT Abuja, on Tuesday for kidnapping and defiling a 14-year-old girl.

Moses, who lives in Gwagwalada, FCT Abuja, has been accused with abduction.

Sani Umar, the judge, ordered the offender to prison without the possibility of a fine after he expressed regret for his actions and appealed for mercy.

“I am sentencing you without any option of fine since you have confessed to have impregnated her elder sister earlier and also had carnal knowledge of a 14-year-old girl.

“You have also infected her with a disease that was not treated which has resulted in her abandoning school and staying at home,” he held.

Umar said that the punishment would serve as a deterrent to those who would want to indulge in such an act.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Abudulahi Tanko, told the court that the complainant, Janet Isaac, reported the matter at the Gwagwalada police station on Jan. 6.

Tanko said that the convict took the complainant’s granddaughter who is 14 to his house and defiled her.

The offence, he said, contravened the provision of Section 272 of the Penal Code.
