Man bags three-year jail for inflicting injuries on son
An Ota Magistrates’ Court in Ogun State has sentenced a 41-year-old man, Kazeem Ogundele, to three years imprisonment for physically assaulting his 14-year-old son.
The convict, whose house address was not provided, was arraigned on a two-count charge of physical assault and intimidation, to which he pleaded guilty.
The Magistrate, Akiode Adeniji, who summarily tried and found Ogunleye guilty of the charges, sentenced him to three years imprisonment without an option of fine.
Earlier, the Prosecutor, Inspector Ejezie Cynthia, told the court that the convict committed the offences sometime in 2022 at Owode, Ota.
Mr Ejezie said that Kazeem physically assaulted his 14-year-old son with a machete on his head and his finger, which caused him permanent injury.
He further told the court that the convict also intimidated and abandoned his other 12-year-old son.
The prosecutor said that the convict was apprehended by some human rights activists who brought him to Sango-Ota Police Station.
According to him, the offences contravene Sections 4(1) and 20(1) of Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Laws of Ogun, 2017.
