A High Court of Cross River State presided over by Justice Blessing Egwu on Tuesday, convicted, and jailed for life, one Imeh Sunday for incestous rape.
Mr. Imeh, 46, was arrested for defiling a relative who is also a minor.
And, on Tuesday, following the conclusion of the trial, Hon. Justice Egwu imposed the maximum sentence following “overwhelming evidence presented by the prosecution.”
Reacting to the judgment, James Ibor Esq, the principal counsel at Basic Rights Counsel Initiative, a non governmental organization commended all who played roles in ensuring justice is done.
“I wish to commend the survivor, her grandparents, the Honourable Attorney General, Ededem Charles Ani, the Commissioner of Police, the judiciary, as well as the staff and volunteers of BRCI for their commitment and support toward the survivor and her recovery,” he said.
