An Ekiti High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti has sentenced two teachers to 44 years imprisonment over offence of rape without an option of fine.

The Prosecution, Mr Kunle-Shina Adeyemi told the court on Tuesday that the defendants, Gbenga Ajibola and Olaofe Ayodele were arraigned before Justice Adeniyi Familoni on March 2, 2022 on a three-count charge bordering on rape and abuse of office.

He said the defendants sometimes in November 2019 in Ado-Ekiti raped two female students of 17 and 15 years respectively names withheld.

According to him, the offence contravened Section 31(2) of the Childs Right Law, Cap. C7, Laws of Ekiti State, 2012.

In her testimony before the court, one of the victims said one of the convicts, Ajibola was her Computer teacher, and always disturbed her while in class.

“On this fateful day, he told me to be in mufti and gave me N200 to go and wait for him in front of a filling station along Bank Road.

“He later came there alongside Mr Olaofe, but before they came, one of my classmates also met me there, he told me that Mr Olaofe asked her to wait here for him.

“When they came, we all left for a hotel, around Oke-Ila area of Ado Ekiti. On getting there, we were taken to different rooms where Mr Ajibola had sexual intercourse with me.
