19-year-old John Julius has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Ekiti State High Court for raping a 35-year-old woman, Alice Ozar on July 16, 2016.


The boy was found guilty of raping Ozar on her farm in Efon Alaye in Efon Local Government Area of Ekiti State by Justice John Adeyeye.
The victim, Ozar explained to the court that the boy attacked her while she was working on her farm. She said he kicked her and she fell on the ground after which he tore her underwear and forcefully had sex with her.
According to Punch, Justice Adeyeye held, “Unfortunately, it will appear I have no discretion on the issue of sentence in view of the decision of the Supreme Court in Lucky v State (Supra) where it was held thus: ‘Any person who commits the offence of rape be liable to imprisonment for life.

“Once the court convicts an accused person for the offense of rape as defined in Section 357 of the Code, it has no discretion but is bound to obey the law by imposing a term of imprisonment for life.

“Consequently, the defendant is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment.”
