Man of 60 years old bags life sentence for defiling minor in Jigawa


A Jigawa State High Court, sitting in Dutse, has condemned a 60-year-elderly person, Dayyabu Madaki to life detainment for defiling a young girl.

Dayyabu Madaki was charged under the steady gaze of the court for baiting a 9-year-old-young girl to his home and powerfully having sex with her in Doro village of JahunLocal Government.

The Presiding Judge, Justice A.M Sambo said the offense of rape is contrary to section 282(1)(e) of the Penal Code Law of Jigawa State 2012 and punishable under Section 3 of the Penal Code.

The Defendant had argued not blameworthy to the offense he was charged for.

He said the offense of rape is punishable by life imprisonment upon conviction.

Delivering the judgement, Justice Sambo said the Prosecution Counsel proved his case beyond reasonable doubt and therefore convicted and sentenced the accused person to life imprisonment.
