A 29-year-old man, Ilias Mudashiru, was on Wednesday jailed for six months by an Igbosere Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for touching a girl’s breasts indecently and stabbing her relatives.
Mudashiru, said to be unemployed, had pleaded guilty to three-count charge of conspiracy, indecent assault and assault occasioning harm against him.
Police prosecutor, Godspower Ehizoba, had told the court that the suspect committed the offence on April 21 at about 8:20am at Bombata Market, Oroyinyin Street, Adeniji Adele, Lagos Island.
Mr Ehizoba also said that the suspect conspired with others at large and indecently assaulted the girl by touching her breasts while she was on her way to a clinic.
He added that Mudashiru stabbed two girls who came to the victim’s rescue in the head, neck and arm with a broken bottle.
“The defendant is hereby sentenced to three months in prison on count one (conspiracy), three months on count two (indecent assault) and six months on count three (assault occasioning harm). The sentence will run concurrently,” Magistrate F. O. Sasanya said.
