A 35-year-old man, Stanley Edomwonyi, was on Wednesday in
Benin sentenced to seven years imprisonment for raping a nine-year-old girl.
The State Counsel, Mrs O.R. Ewemade, told the Court that
the convict committed the crime on Oct. 24, 2013, at about 6:00 pm, at Block 7,
Flat7, S and T Barracks, Ugbowo, Benin.
NAN reports that the convict was charged with rape which
contravened Section 218 of the criminal Code cap 48 vol. II laws of the defunct
Bendel State of Nigeria 1976 as applicable in Edo.
The Magistrate, Mrs Igho Braimoh, ruled that the convict
was guilty as charged and sentenced him to seven years imprisonment with hard
labour.
