Two men to be hanged for raping 14yr old to death.
« on: February 13, 2014, 10:06:35 PM »
An Osogbo High Court in Osun
State on February 12, 2014,
Wednesday, sentenced two young
men to death by hanging for raping a teen girl to death. The convicts, identified as Suraju Olarewaju and
Lekan Olatayo were arraigned in 2005 on a two-
count charge of conspiracy and murder. Their victim was a 14-year-old girl, Bilikisu Adeyemi. The Prosecutor, Mrs Folashade Adekanmi, had
previously told the court that the two young men
committed the offences on June 1, 2005 at Abesu
area of Osogbo. She said the convicts blocked the nose of the
deceased with a loaf of bread while raping her at
about midnight. She said the accused had also confessed to the
crime. In her judgment, Justice R.A. Shiyanbola, said the
prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable
doubts and sentenced the duo to death by hanging. She said the men had contravened Sections 319 (1)
and 324 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Osun, 2004.
