A Tamale Circuit Court has sentenced a 29 year old mechanic to 10 years imprisonment with hard labour.
The convict, Iddrisu Majeed has been jailed for defiling a minor (name withheld) at Zogbeli, a suburb of Tamale.
The presiding Judge, his Honour, Senyo Amedehe delivered his ruling in line with section 101 (2) of the Criminal Offence Act 29/60.
According to the facts of the case, the convict was arrested and detained by the police somewhere last year for allegedly defiling the minor in question.
At long last, the convict, Iddrisu Majeed pleaded guilty during his trial on Wednesday in a Tamale Circuit Court.
Present at the court were family relations and sympathizers of the convict all of whom expressed shock at Iddrisu Majeed’s immoral conduct.
