A High Court sitting in Ado- Ekiti, Ekiti State, yesterday sentenced a proprietor, Mr. Babatunde Ibitoye, to 10 years in jail for raping a 10-year-old pupil of his school. 

Ibitoye, founder of God’s Grace Nursery and Primary School, located at Fayemi Market, Agric-Olope area of Ajilosun, Ado-Ekiti, committed the offence on June 10, 2013 in a bush near the school.
The state Justice Ministry had, through a suit with reference number HAD/F11/2013 slammed a one-count charge of rape on him in December 2013. In his judgment, Justice Toyin Abodunde agreed with the evidence as provided by the plaintiff.
Abodunde said the case had been proved “beyond reasonable doubt” that the defendant actually sexually abused the victim who was a pupil in his school at the time the offence was committed.
