Pastor Sentenced To Life Imprisonment For Raping Wife’s Niece 15 Times

A 38-year-old businessman and pastor Ofure Rey Siakpere was sentenced to life imprisonment by an Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court on Wednesday, January 19, for defiling and impregnating his 14-year-old in-law.

The survivor in her testimony said that she was overpowered and defiled on at least 15 occasions by the convict while living with him and his wife who was her aunt. She said that anytime she resisted his advances, he beat her up.

She said that she became pregnant as a result of the abuse. As at the time of her testimony in court, she had delivered a baby. The convict and his wife, Mrs Adebimpe Siakpere testified for the defence.

Sentencing Siakpere, Judge Abiola Soladoye in her judgement said, “The defendant maltreated the victim (his wife’s niece) by defiling her. The conduct of this so-called in-law is hurtful and demeaning. Where is the defendant’s humanity and moral compass?

“This case is a reflection of sexual lawlessness that occurs within the family circle. The defendant must be duly sanctioned in the hope that this will serve as a deterrent to others to not tow the line of sexual misconduct.

“The defendant Ofure Siakpere, is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment with no option of fine. His name shall also be registered in the Sex Offenders Register as maintained by the Lagos State Government,”

In reaction to his life sentence, some social media users expressed joy at his prison term, with a user describing him as a pastor from the pit of hell.
