Sexual intercourse with minors under 13 attracts life jail – Delta PPRO

Bright Edafe, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, has warned that having sexual intercourse with a child under 13 years old is considered defilement and is punishable by life imprisonment.

In a post on X.com, Edafe emphasized that consent is not a valid defense, and covering up such crimes can result in charges of aiding and abetting.

He also highlighted that taking the matter to court or swearing an affidavit will not suffice, urging parents to report any instances of defilement to the authorities.

He wrote: “A sexual intercourse with either a boy or a girl under the age of 13 years is defilement and the punishment, if found guilty, is life Imprisonment.

“Section 218 CC. In this case, consent is immaterial and such offences can’t be compounded.

“So going to court and swearing to an affidavit won’t work. In fact, any parent who tries to cover defilement could be charged to court for aiding and abetting.”
