Segun Shina, a herbalist, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for attempting to sexually attack a 10-year-old epileptic girl in Lagos.

Justice Rahman Oshodi, of the Ikeja Sexual Offence and Domestic Violence Court, reportedly jailed the herbalist on Tuesday.

A plea bargain arrangement allowed the herbalist to plead guilty to an amended one-count allegation of attempted sexual assault.

Justice Oshodi delivered judgment, concluding that the evidence presented to the court, combined with the defendant’s voluntary guilty plea, established his guilt.

“I must emphasize that the original charge carried a maximum penalty of life imprisonment,” the judge said.

“You exploited a vulnerable child who sought healing for epilepsy, betraying the trust placed in you as a traditional healer.

“I have considered your plea for leniency, the submissions of your lawyer and the prosecutor. I hereby sentence you to 14 years’ imprisonment.

“You shall have no direct or indirect contact with the survivor’s family, and your name shall be registered as a s3x offender under the law,” Oshodi added.
