The judge held that the prosecution proved the case beyond a reasonable doubt, with the ingredients of defilement to the court’s satisfaction.

She held that the evidence of the defence witnesses was tainted with lies, which did not hold water.

Soladoye described the convict as a “serial paedophile” and his testimonies a “pack of lies.”

She said: “The convict and his fellow defence witnesses were not truthful and credible in their testimonies, during the trial. Their testimonies were a pack of lies and fell asunder like a pack of cards.

“This serial paedophile, a head teacher, who is expected to teach his students morals, stooped so low and defiled the underage girls. What a shame!

“This irresponsible and randy teacher, who teaches his students nonsense, should be locked away,” she ruled.

The judge also praised the two survivors for their courage to speak up in court against their assailant.

She said that sexual abuse of any sort must be reported and not swept under the carpet.

Soladoye further urged parents not to relent in reporting sexual abuse cases to the appropriate authorities.

“Continuous education and awareness of this issue of sexual menace must be at the forefront of all stakeholders in the administration of justice to advocate the rights of young children.

“The defendant, having been found guilty of the two counts bordering on defilement, is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment on each of the counts.

“The sentencing, will however, run concurrently and his name registered in the Sex Offences Register as maintained by the Lagos State,” she said.

During the trial, the state prosecution counsel,  Mr. Olusola Soneye, called three witnesses while the defence counsel called four witnesses.

The prosecutor said the convict committed the offence sometime in April and May 10, 2019, at Shalom Private School, Oke-Ira Road, Ebutte Metta in Lagos.

He said Ogba defiled the two survivors by having unlawful sexual intercourse with them.

The prosecutor also told the court that one of the girls, however, informed her mother and the case was reported at the police station.

According to the prosecutor, the offence contravened Section 137 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.

Marwa paid a high-level visit to the National Hospital in Abuja on Monday to check on two operatives, Ayegh Dooyun Zachariah and Shehu Jamil Ibrahim, who sustained severe injuries during a high-stakes raid in the Dawaki area on May 15, 2026.

“An Attack on Our Officers Is an Attack on the State”

During his visit to the trauma ward, Marwa expressed outrage over the “cowardly” nature of the attack, vowing that the agency would not rest until every perpetrator is identified and prosecuted.

  • Full Support: Marwa guaranteed that the agency would cover all medical expenses and welfare needs for the officers until they make a full recovery.

A Renewed Anti-Narcotics Offensive

Despite the violent resistance from hoodlums in the FCT, Marwa maintained that the NDLEA’s mandate remains unchanged. The agency is moving forward with a sharpened focus on dismantling drug cartels and cleansing local communities of illicit substances, proving that no amount of intimidation will slow down the national crackdown on narcotics.

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has stated that he finds entertainment in the ongoing bitter feud between opposition parties, describing their internal crises as entirely self-inflicted.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, Yilwatda clarified that the ruling party is currently not engaged in political warfare with its rivals. Instead, he noted that the real battle is raging between the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

“Over the past three weeks, the APC hasn’t been fighting the ADC or NDC. It’s been NDC against ADC,” Yilwatda remarked. “Honestly, I’ve been watching the insults traded between both parties with absolute amusement. I watch the videos and just laugh. The self-implosion is happening within the opposition, not the APC.”

When questioned on whether he was secretly orchestrating the chaos to weaken his rivals, the APC chairman denied direct involvement but openly admitted that neutralizing the opposition is part of his mandate.

“I am not doing it, but I’d be glad if I could—that is my job,” he stated. “As the ruling party, my role is to stop the opposition, not to make them happy.”

Yilwatda further argued that the APC remains the most stable political entity in Nigeria due to its robust internal conflict resolution committees and its advanced, data-driven membership registration. He revealed that the APC is the only party that links its membership database directly with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), ensuring a transparent and credible structure.

Option 2: Sharp and Punchy (High Engagement / Social Media Friendly)

Headline: ‘I Watch and Laugh’ — APC Boss Nentawe Yilwatda Reacts to ADC vs NDC Bitter Feud

APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda says he is helping himself to front-row entertainment as opposition parties tear each other apart in what he describes as a “self-inflicted implosion.”

Featuring on Channels TV’s Politics Today, Yilwatda pointed out that the ruling party has stepped back to watch the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) engage in a fierce war of words.

“I watch the videos and laugh,” Yilwatda admitted, referencing the heavy insults traded between the two factions over the last three weeks.

While dismissing allegations that he is masterminding the division, the APC boss didn’t hide his satisfaction, stating bluntly that weakening rival parties is simply part of the political game. “If you are in the opposition, my job is to stop you,” he declared.

He credited the APC’s ongoing stability to its solid internal dispute mechanisms and a highly digitized, data-driven membership system integrated directly with NIMC.

Option 3: Editorial / Analytical Style

Headline: The Opposition is Imploding on Its Own, Says APC Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda

In a candid television appearance on Monday, All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda dismissed claims that the ruling party is actively fighting the opposition, asserting that rival parties are currently destroying themselves from within.

Appearing on Channels Television, Yilwatda highlighted the escalating hostility between the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), confessing that he has been watching their exchange of fireworks “with fun.”

Addressing suspicions of political sabotage, Yilwatda maintained that while he isn’t pulling the strings behind the opposition’s crisis, he welcomes it as a political advantage. According to him, dismantling opposition strategies is a core responsibility of his leadership.

Beyond the political drama, Yilwatda defended the structural integrity of the APC, pointing to its state and national reconciliation committees as key pillars of its stability. He also emphasized that the APC’s reliance on NIMC data for membership registration makes it Nigeria’s most technologically advanced and viable political party.
