Ex-soldier gets life jail for defiling step-daughter

An Ogun State High Court sitting at Isabo, Abeokuta yesterday sentenced a retired soldier, Alabi Ibrahim, to life imprisonment for raping his 10-year-old step daughter and infecting her with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

The court presided over by Justice Abiodun Akinyemi sentenced the convict, who reportedly retired from the Nigerian Army a few years ago in a suit number AB/37/C/14. Ibrahim had committed the offence in 2012 at his Abeokuta home where the victim and her mother also resided.
