Adenekan was convicted of the offence in October 24, 2019, by Justice Sybil Nwaka of the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja. Displeased with Justice Nwaka’s verdict, Adenekan had, through his lawyer, Mr Olatunde Adejuyigbe , approached the Court of Appeal, seeking to overturn it. But a three-man appeal court panel, headed by Justice Mohammed Garba, dismissed the appeal for lacking in merit.The Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions had told the trial court that Adenekan had “unlawful sexual intercourse” with the minor in November 2016 in Lagos in contravention of Section 137 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State 2011.However, in the judgment delivered on October 24, 2019 Justice Nwaka pronounced him guilty.

The judge said with seven witnesses, including the two-year-old victim, the prosecution succeeded in proving the charges against Adenekan.All rights reserved.
