She was just 15years old but was already sexually active....so sad.
A 20-year-old man, Sodiq
Sulaimon, yesterday appeared before an Ikeja High Court in Lagos for
allegedly procuring abortion for his 15-year-old lover (names withheld),
who died in the process.
The
defendant is facing a one-count charge of manslaughter brought against
him by Lagos State Government, for which he pleaded not guilty.
“Sodiq
Sulaimon, on or before December 11, 2012, about 4p.m., at 7 Oriokuta
Street, Imota, Ikorodu Lagos, in the Ikeja Judicial Division, did
unlawfully killed girl (names withheld) by procuring abortion for her,”
the charge stated.
At the
resumed hearing, a witness, Sergeant Elizabeth Osikanlu, told the
presiding judge, Justice K. A. Jose, that the matter was referred to her
after one Femi Adegboyega came to the station to report that the
defendant impregnated his niece and gave her drugs to abort a
five-month-old pregnancy.
According
to her, the defendant admitted having sexual intercourse with the
deceased sometime in October 2012 and giving her two tablets to prevent
pregnancy.
