One John Otema, an alumnus of the University of Lagos, was Monday sentenced to 50-years imprisonment by an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court for raping a 19-year-old student of the institution.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that 34-year-old Mr Otema, a Quantity Surveyor and Facilities Manager, was charged before Justice Abiola Soladoye with three counts of rape and assault occasioning harm on two female students.
He was found guilty on two-counts of rape and assault occasioning harm in respect of the rape of the 19-year-old student (Student X). He was, however, found not guilty on a charge of raping a 20-year-old student (Student Y) of the Institution.
He bagged 50-years in prison for the rape and three-years in prison for the assault on student X with both sentences to run concurrently.
