The prosecution Counsel, Nelson Okojie, told the court that Asiruwa defiled the pupil at Osazuwa Primary School, Ehor, in the Uhunmwode Local Government Area of the state, when he lured the victim into the school's toilet and raped her severally, before nemesis finally caught up with him.

The presiding judge, Justice G. O. Imadegbelo, subsequently sentenced the 35-year-old teacher to life imprisonment, having found him guilty of the offence.
