Man sentenced to 7 years in prison for rape of 9-year-old girl

A Nigerian man identified as Stanley Edomwonyi was on Wednesday sentenced to seven years in prison for the rape of a 9-year-old girl in Benin.

The State Counsel, Mrs O.R. Ewemade, told the Court that Edomwonyi, 35, committed the crime on Oct. 24, 2013, at about 6:00 pm, at Block 7, Flat7, S and T Barracks, Ugbowo, Benin.

He was charged with rape which contravened Section 218 of the criminal Code cap 48 vol. II laws of the defunct Bendel State of Nigeria 1976 as applicable in Edo.

The Magistrate, Mrs Igho Braimoh, ruled that the convict was guilty as charged and sentenced him to seven years imprisonment with hard labour.
