Our present day society has been filled with all sorts of immorality, which keep taking the lives of our young ones.
Recently, a 20-year-old Sodiq Sulaimon confirmed he gave 2 tablets to his pregnant 15-year old girlfriend to terminate the growing foetus, but the end was deadly, as the teenage girl bled to death shortly afterwards.
Now, Sodiq is behind bars facing the consequences of his inhuman actions.
Yesterday, June 4, the accused appeared before an Ikeja High Court on one-count charge of manslaughter brought against him by Lagos State Government, for which he pleaded not guilty.
“Sodiq Sulaimon, on or before December 11, 2012, about 4p.m., at 7 Oriokuta Street, Imota, Ikorodu Lagos, in the Ikeja Judicial Division, did unlawfully kill the girl (names withheld) by procuring abortion for her,” the charge stated.
At the resumed hearing, a witness, Sergeant Elizabeth Osikanlu, told the presiding judge, Justice K. A. Jose, that the matter was referred to her after one Femi Adegboyega came to the station to report that the defendant impregnated his niece and gave her drugs to abort a five-month-old pregnancy.
According to her, the defendant admitted having sexual intercourse with the deceased sometime in October 2012 and giving her two tablets to prevent pregnancy.
