An Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court on Tuesday sentenced a 51-year-old cleric, Nduka Anyanwu, to double life imprisonment for defiling and impregnating two biological sisters in a church complex.
Justice Abiola Soladoye convicted the Lagos-based pastor of impregnating a 13-year-old and a 17-year-old, both of whom have been delivered of babies.

Soladoye held that the evidence of prosecution witnesses was believable and consistent.

She described the convict as morally bankrupt.

The judge said that the police ought to have charged the parents of the victims/survivors alongside the convict.

She described the parents as irresponsible, saying that they encouraged the survivors to get defiled by the defendant.
