Driver jailed 7 years for raping 80-yr-old woman in Ekiti

An Ado Ekiti High Court has sentenced a 45-year-old com­mercial driver, Lawrence Adedapo, to seven years im­prisonment for raping an 80-year-old woman, Madam Grace Asaolu. Justice Dele Omotoso con­victed Adedapo based on evi­dence before the court which showed that the driver force­fully had carnal knowledge of the old woman and was guilty as charged. The convict sexually as­saulted the octogenarian on November 7, 2013 at Oke Eri­mope Street, Ogbese, Ise-Ekiti and was subsequently charged to court.
In the course of the trial, Adedapo pleaded not guilty to the charge and gave evidence in his defence but called no witness.
In his testimony, Adedapo who described the old wom­an as his “mother as well as his concubine” whom he has been dating as far back as his bachelor years claimed that Mrs Asaolu framed him up.
He claimed that the old woman had earlier ap­proached him for a sum of money to travel to her village. However, the day she walked into his room to ask for the money, the driver claimed that the old woman started romancing him which even­tually led to a sexual inter­course after he had given her N1,000.
The prosecution led by the Attorney General and Com­missioner for Justice, Owose­ni Ajayi, gave evidence that the convict confessed to have been dating the woman be­fore the incident and that she consented to the sexual inter­course.
Ajayi tendered the blood-stained clothes of the victim which was recovered from the scene of the incident.
The trial judge resolved all issues for determination against Adedapo and conse­quently sentenced him to a jail term of seven years for un­lawfully having carnal knowl­edge of the old woman.
