yesterday appeared before an Ikeja High Court for allegedly procuring
abortion for his 15-year-old lover (names withheld), who died in the
process.
The defendant is facing a one-count charge of manslaughter brought
against him by Lagos State Government, for which he pleaded not
guilty.
"Sodiq Sulaimon, on or before December 11, 2012, about 4p.m., at 7
Oriokuta Street, Imota, Ikorodu Lagos, in the Ikeja Judicial Division,
did unlawfully killed girl (names withheld) by procuring abortion for
her," the charge stated.
At the resumed hearing, a witness, Sergeant Elizabeth Osikanlu, told
the presiding judge, Justice K. A. Jose, that the matter was referred
to her after one Femi Adegboyega came to the station to report that
the defendant impregnated his niece and gave her drugs to abort a
five-month-old pregnancy.
According to her, the defendant admitted having sexual intercourse
with the deceased sometime in October 2012 and giving her two tablets
to prevent pregnancy.
