Eighteen years for man who raped girl, 15

Adjuke Josiah

Thirty-six-year-old former mason Adjuke Josiah was yesterday morning sentenced to 18 years behind bars for the rape of a 15-year-old girl back in 2018.

At a pre-sentencing hearing last week, the court heard from the victim impact statement presented on behalf of the now 18-year-old young woman, who related the pain and shame with which she has been left.
