A Magistrate Court in Umuahia North Magisterial District has sentenced Pastor Uche Arua Kalu to 10 years imprisonment without an option of fine for defiling a four-year-old girl in Amaogudu Abiriba, Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State.

The prosecution, led by Chinedu Ikpa Esq., presented undeniable evidence against the accused, including his confession and the IPO's investigative report. The prosecution emphasized that for a defilement case to be proved, three key elements must be established: the victim must be underage, the accused must have engaged in sexual intercourse with the child, and the child's consent is irrelevant in such cases.

The victim's mother, Madam Ugo Obasi, a widow, narrated how the defendant, who was close to the family, took advantage of her absence to lure the girl to his house and defile her. The mother pleaded with the government to come to her assistance.
