Anambra court jails final year student for raping 10-year-old during skit making

The Anambra State Children, Sexual and Gender-based Violence Court has sentenced a 27-year-old final-year Mass Communication student, Wisdom Edem, to 35 years of imprisonment for three charges: rape, sexual abuse, and inflicting physical injury on a 10-year-old girl. The court, presided over by Justice Peace Otti, found Edem guilty based on the testimony of the victim, corroborated by the confessional statement he made, and supporting evidence presented by the prosecution.

The Judge directed his university not to issue a certificate until his prison term is complete and issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
