An Adentan Circuit Court has jailed a Togolese 20 years in hard labour for defiling a class two pupil.
Mawuena Ahava, aka Togo, a 25- year-old mason defiled and impregnated the 11-year-old victim.
He pleaded guilty to the charge of defilement.
The Court, presided over by Mrs Sedinam Awo Balokah, convicted Ahava on his plea and sentenced him accordingly.
