The children were taken to their village, and even after telling their kinsmen about their father\u2019s acts, nothing was done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey returned to Lagos, and the second child eventually reported the incident to the school after her older sister ran away from home as she could no longer endure the assault.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defendant admitted the act and stated that he was sorry. This is also in his statement, which was admitted and marked Exhibit A.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a dirty father who should be locked up for life as his conduct is disgraceful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defendant is found guilty as charged, and he is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment on each of the two counts in the charge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DSVA added that Chukwuma\u2019s name will be added to the Lagos state\u2019s sexual offenders register.<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sexual offences and domestic violence court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos state, has sentenced one Eze Chukwuma to life imprisonment for defiling his two daughters.
