Security guard jailed 4 years for defiling minor - Shepherd Digest Magazine


A 40-year-old security guard, Mr Francis Gyang, was on Wednesday sentenced to four years imprisonment by a Jos Upper Area Court for defiling a minor.

The Judge, Mr Yahaya Mohammed, convicted Gyang for defiling the six-year-old girl without an option of a fine.



According to the Prosecutor, Sgt. Ibrahim Gukwat, the convict, on Sept. 21, lured the girl to his room and forcefully had unlawful carnal knowledge of her.

The prosecutor said that the offence was contrary to Section 282 of the Penal Code.

The accused had pleaded guilty to the charge and begged the court for mercy.

The judge said that the sentence would serve as a deterrent to others.
