without the option of a fine after he was convicted for a similar offence
in that he had had unlawful sexual intercourse with a young girl of seven
(7) years on two occasions who was also a relative of his.
[15] In casu, the offence was done repeatedly, and it ended in very
unpalatable and devastating results. Considering all these factors, I am
of the opinion that this case justifies that I fetter with the sentence and
impose a higher one as it would be more appropriate in my view.
[16] On the basis of all these reasons, I order that the sentence of the
accused be set aside and be substituted with the following:
The accused is sentenced to a period of twenty (20) years imprisonment.
Accordingly, the court a quo is directed to immediately have the accused
brought before it to be informed of this alteration to his sentence.
