Oshodi held that the convict tried to deny a statement he made, in which he confessed to have defiled the survivor (name withheld).
He said, “Mr Wasiu Ibrahim, for sexual gratification, you violated the survivor after your wife returned home from a burial.
“She had lived with you since she was 10, and called you daddy; yet, it did not deter you.
“You threatened to beat her if she would tell anyone, after having sexual intercourse with her.
