An Ikeja domestic violence and sexual offences court has sentenced Adegboyega Adenekan, a school supervisor, to 60 years imprisonment for child defilement. Sybil Nwaka, the presiding judge, handed down the sentence after convicting Adenekan of a lone-count charge of defiling a two-year and 11-month-old pupil.
Adenekan had pleaded not guilty to the charge the Lagos state government filed against him. But while delivering her verdict, Nwaka described Adenekan, as “wicked, conscienceless and an animal who is not worthy of walking on the streets of Lagos. I hereby sentence Adegboyega Adenekan to 60 years’ imprisonment. This is the sentence of the court,” the judge held.
Nwaka said 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,” she held.
“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. The defence called five witnesses. The victim had told the judge how she was defiled by the 47-year-old supervisor of the school. At the time the incident happened in 2016, Adenekan was at the Victoria Garden City (VGC) branch of the school.

A nanny has been arrested after a 20-month-old boy Langelihle Mnguni she was hired to care for was found dead in Ekurhuleni, South Africa.
The child’s distraught mother, 28-year-old Lerato Mngun, from Daveyton in Ekurhuleni, said she hired the nanny through a Tembisa-based placement agency when her son, Langelihle, was two months old.
“Why? I just want to know why,” said Lerato Mnguni.
They all lived all in harmony, until tragedy struck last Friday when Lerato returned from work.
Lerato and her aunt arrived to find the security gate locked but the door unlocked. The keys were thrown on to the kitchen floor.
“I thought she had taken my child and run off,” said Lerato.
She and her aunt eventually got into the house and said they found the nanny in her bedroom, praying on the floor, with her top off. There was allegedly a white substance around her. She had small abrasions and had vomited and defecated.
“She said they [intruders] had broken into the house. I asked her where the child was and she said they had taken him,” Lerato said.
She said the carer claimed that the attack happened at about 5.30am, just after Lerato and her aunt left for work. The 39-year-old woman had said that she could not call out or phone for help.
“We asked her who the culprits were and whether she had seen them and she said yes. She said she had heard the voice of a neighbour. She opened the door and burglar gate for them. They came in, forced her to drink poison and took off with the child,” Lerato said.
Sitting on her bed with a small photo frame containing Lihle’s picture and a candle burning next to it, Lerato said she rushed outside, searching for her son to no avail.
“I called the ambulance for the nanny and the police,” Lerato said.
After attending to her, the paramedics asked the family to bathe the nanny before transporting her.
“They said they could not take her because she had defecated on herself, so they asked us to bathe her. My aunt went to the storeroom to go and get a small tub that we could wash her in,” Lerato said.
It was there that the horrific discovery of the little boy’s body was made.
“My aunt picked up the child, thinking he was still alive and rushed him to the paramedics who were attending to the nanny,” Lerato said.
They, along with the child’s father, Sihle Tshabalala, tried to resuscitate him but it was too late.
Sihle, 40, described how helpless he felt trying to resuscitate his son.
“I was just holding him, hoping and praying for a miracle” he said.
He said when he arrived at the family home, he had not bothered to look for the child in the house because of the unfolding drama.
“We had spent two to three hours outside. I had this hope or belief that I could do something. I tried everything,” said Sihle. “I tried CPR for close to an hour. I was just holding him, hoping and praying for a miracle,” the grieving dad added, seated on the bed, next to Lerato.
Lihle’s post-mortem revealed shocking news.
“The post mortem said there was a fracture around the neck. There was no poison found,” Sihle said, adding that his child had allegedly been strangled.
Confirming the incident to TimesLIVE, Police Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said,
“A woman is expected to make a second appearance in court next week following the death of a 20-month-old toddler. She appeared in the Benoni magistrate’s court [on Monday] after a preliminary investigation by the police linked her to the death of the child. She was arrested on Friday, the 18th.”
“Initially, the woman had claimed to police that robbers had come into the house and forced her to consume poison as well as the child. The child was found dead while the woman was rushed to hospital. But when police conducted the initial investigation surrounding the death of the child, the woman was found to be a possible suspect,” Peters added.

A Nigerian lady has died alongside two others after they were hit by a drunk driver then rejected by a hospital because they do not have a “police report”.
Othniel, the brother of the deceased identified as Jemima one of the casualties, said his sister, who is a student at the University of Jos, was in a keke napep with a fellow student, on their way to church, when a drunk driver “left his lane, climbed the road barricade” and rammed into their tricycle, causing it to sommersault multiple times.
Jemima
Othniel is demanding justice for his sister and her friend who “died as a result of a failed medical system and idiotic medical law passed only by a failed country.”
He also added that the drunk driver is set to walk free “because of corruption within the police force.”
Read below ;
My younger sister: Jemima, was involved in a road accident on her way to church, on Sunday morning.
She was in her sophomore year at the University of Jos, Nigeria: studying Statistics.
Her friend: Jennifer, who she commuted with, was in her final year. She was working on her project.
What was supposed to be a harmless journey in a tricycle, turned out to be a tragedy when some drunk guy driving a BMW, left his lane, climbed the road barricade, hit the ‘keke’ my sister and her friend traveled in, and somersaulted three times.
The drunk driver whose birthday was on Sunday, confessed to be drunk after celebrating overnight.
He survived the accident.
The keke driver died on the spot.
Sissy and her friend were still alive, and hence, rushed to the nearby hospital: 347 c, 303 Rayfield Road, Naf Station on Bauchi-Jos Expressway.
This hospital rejected both of them. Stupid mofos wanted a Police Report, before taking them in.
From there, they were rushed to another hospital, but before any medical help could be given, Jemima and Jennifer had died.
Worse still, the police are currently attempting to grant the murderer of three people, bail.
My sister, her friend and the tricycle driver, were casualties of the reckless driving of a stoned driver.
Jemima and Jennifer died as a result of a failed medical system and idiotic medical law passed only by a failed country. Nigeria.
And their murderer may go Scott-free because of corruption within the police force.

Ghanaian television host and actress, Joselyn Dumas has reflected on her journey so far as she marks the 10th year anniversary since she hit the big screen.
Dumas made her debut on television as the host of Charter House’s Rhythmz, an entertainment show where she interviewed many celebrities.
Reminiscing on how it all started, Joselyn told NEWS-ONE that she knew nothing about acting when she started 10 years ago. In spite of this, she didn’t give up.
Her words ;
“Ten years ago was my first ever appearance in any movie production in Ghana and I didn’t even know anything about acting and things like that… A lot of things happened to me in the last 10 years, both highs and lows… but that is life.”
“I have been doing a lot. I have been working with Stanchart on their online mobile banking. I am also working with Samsung; we are promoting their new Samsung 10 plus and also working with Ghana Gas. I am basically doing a little more corporate stuff and then as and when a nice script comes my way, I do it.”
The organizers of the 2019 Africans Unite concert scheduled to take place in Cape Town at The Lawns on the 23rd of November and Tshwane’s Sun Arena on November 24 have announced Nigerian singer, Burna Boy in their line up.
Despite the singer’s tweet two months ago where he stated he would never set foot in South Africa, it appears that the Afro-fusion singer will headline the Africans Unite concert.

Now, AKA is taunting him on social media and even went on to say, ‘he must just apologize so we can forgive him’.
We brought you reports about how a Nigerian Lady called out Mercy for ‘lying’ about her endorsement with Moet & Chandon.
According to the lady, Cubana Chiefpriest is a distributor of Moet Hennessy, and Mercy is hiding under the guise of Cubana’s relationship with the company, to pose as a brand ambassador. (Read The Details Here).
To buttress on this, Marketing and partnerships manager, Paola Audrey also shared an update to the reports that the Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem winner, sealed a deal with the French company.
Paula’s remark was in favour of the rumors as she strongly maintained that Mercy did not bag any deal with Moet Hennessy because she was not up to their standard of selection.
According to her, Mercy and Cubana only paid a visit to the company, but they did not sign any sort of endorsement, as Mercy did not fit their celebrity endorsement guideline.
Mercy and Cubana
Paula also added that Mercy and Cubana’s visit to the company was not in any way related to any ‘endorsement’, so she finds it hard to understand why she would cook up such a lie.
Recall the reports became viral after Mercy posted herself on her official social media platforms about the deal.

A Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday heard that stolen credit card information issued by European, American and Latin American banks were retrieved from a laptop allegedly belonging to musician, Azeez Fashola popularly known as Naira Marley.
An Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) forensics expert, Mr Nuru Buhari told Justice Nicholas Oweibo that some of the credit card information belonged to four persons in the United Kingdom (UK) including one Nicole Louise.
Buhari testified as the EFCC’s first prosecution witness in Marley’s alleged card fraud trial which began on Tuesday.
The witness, who was led in evidence by EFCC counsel Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, alleged that apart from the stolen information, the website visit history recovered from the device showed that the top five most visited sites dealt with buying and selling of stolen credit card information.
Buhari said: “During analysis, the cache file and history file revealed that the most frequently visited sites by the user of the computer includes arder007.org, Zuni.sa, nationwidecheckbalance.co.uk, ferunshop.net AMD cocoa.co.uk.”
“Analysis of the websites revealed that web 1 is where stolen card information is sold to intending fraudsters, web 2 is for stolen credit cards specifically for the UK, web 3 is an online website designed for UK card holders to check their balance wherever they are around the world, web 4 is a dark web meaning an underground tunnel in the internet where stolen credit card information are sold and traded, web 5 is an online shopping mall where members are given discounts for shopping from certain shops.”
He said stolen credit card information with special status that allows transaction up-to $12,000 without a pin or physical card was found in a file named select BIN 101.txt and .txt.
The witness added: “For the note file, two major files were discovered named .txt which contained about four credit card information belonging to four different personalities in the UK including one Nicole Louise. ”
“The second file is named selected BIN101.txt containing Bank Identification Number of European, American and Latin American banks.
“When we ran the BIN code search for the first six digits of the cards, it revealed they are Visa cards issued by Barclay’s bank, Sandander UK plc.”
Buhari testified that an analysis allowed his team to identify “certain banks in the US, Europe and Asia with certain peculiarities, these are banks that they issue credit cards without pins based on the high level of trust, they allow a transaction of up to $12,000 in a swipe on pos.
“Cards issued by those banks are card not required. All you need to execute a transaction is the card number and the CVV number. ”
According to him, suspicious apps that are mostly used by people with shady deals on the internet were found on the laptop.
He said: “We analysed installed apps on the laptop and we found two apps that enables the owner of the computer to decide the server of a bank as to his identity and location, IP VANISH and TOR browser.
“The TOR browser is sometimes called the onion. Most of the criminals cover their tracks with various layers just like an onion using this app to make it near impossible for a tracker to track their location.
“The IP VANISH is a virtual private network (VPN) which provides that the actual computer and location of usage cannot be identified. It also gives the user the ability to change their location.”
The court heard further that an analysis of the administrator account on the laptop revealed that the admin is one Naira Marley and the account was connected to his iCloud account.
During the hearing, Oyedepo tendered the request for the analysis of the Apple Mac book Pro laptop, an iPhone allegedly confiscated from the defendant and the forensic laboratory report prepared by Mr Buhari.
Justice Oweibo adjourned till Friday for cross examination of the witness.
Fashola, popular for his “Am I a Yahoo Boy” and “Soapy” tracks, is being prosecuted by the EFCC on an 11-count charge of conspiracy, possession of counterfeit cards and fraud.
