A Nigerian youngman, Daniel Olowookere, has been sentenced to six years in prison in the United Kingdom after pleading guilty to raping two girls, both aged below 12.
According
to a post published on X on Tuesday by Nigerian Community UK, Olowookere, who
is from Blackley, appeared before Manchester Crown Court, where he initially
denied the allegations before eventually changing his plea to guilty.
During the
sentencing proceedings, witnesses reportedly described Olowookere as showing no
remorse for his actions. He was alleged to have shaken his head while the judge
pronounced the prison sentence.
The report
also stated that Olowookere, who relocated to the UK from Nigeria, had his
cultural background raised by his defence team as a mitigating factor during
the sentencing process.
However,
the judge reportedly emphasised that no cultural background or personal
circumstance could excuse the sexual abuse of children.
Investigators
have also warned that there could be additional victims and urged anyone with
relevant information to come forward to assist with ongoing inquiries.
The case
has renewed concerns about child protection and the importance of ensuring that
allegations of sexual abuse are thoroughly investigated and offenders are held
accountable under the law.
Authorities
have encouraged anyone who may have information relevant to the case to contact
the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
