A Benin City High Court has sentenced a 35 year-old teacher, Bright Asiruwa, to life imprisonment for defiling an 11 year-old primary school pupil.
The convict who was a teacher to the victim before the incident, was said to have defiled the victim in 2007.
Prosecution Counsel, Nelson Okojie, had earlier told the Court that Asiruwa defiled the pupil at Osazuwa Primary School, Ehor, the administrative headquarters of Uhunmwode local government area of the state.
Elder brother of the victim, Engineer Zini Braima, applauded the judgement, saying that all the family wanted was justice.
