Keke NAPEP Driver Bags Life Imprisonment Over Rape Of Minor in Ondo

The war against rape in the country has received a major boost when a Keke NAPEP driver, Mr Blessing Kingsley, bagged a life imprisonment for raping a teenager in Ondo town.

Kingsley is to spend the rest of his life in prison for raping a 14-year-old girl and infecting her with Hepatitis B two years ago.

Justice Bode Adegbehingbe of an Ondo State High Court sitting in Akure, who gave the judgment after a two-year trial, said the weight of evidence proved without doubt that Kingsley was guilty of the one-count charge of rape.

Reacting the Ondo State prosecutor, described the judgment as another success in the campaign against rape.
