    An Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court has heard that Adegboyega Adenekan, 47,  a supervisor at Chrisland School in Lekki, Lagos, sexually assaulted two underage pupils who are under his care

    A clinical psychologist, Miss Olive Ogedengbe, told Justice Sybil Nwaka during ‘s trial for alleged child defilement that his other victim was a friend of ‘Child X’.

    Led in evidence by the Chief State counsel, Mr Jide Boye, Ogedengbe said she visited the mother of Child X’s friend,   but the woman declined  to be involved in the case for fear of stigmatisation.

    The witness told the court that the entire interaction she and her colleague had with Child X was recorded to ensure her story remains consistent.

    The court admitted in evidence the video recording of the two years, 11-month old pupil, tagged Child X, which detailed her defilement by Adenekan.

    The video recording was played during the testimony given by Miss Ogedengbe, during the trial of Adenekan that lasted more than four hours.

    Ogedengbe, the clinical psychologist and Masters Degree holder in clinical psychology,  is certified in sexual and reproductive health behaviour in children and adolescents with over ten years work experience with children and adolescents.

    The video recording marked Exhibit A1 by the court showed the child in the psychologist’s office answering questions about the alleged defilement from Ogedengbe and her colleague when they visited on November 28, 2016.

    She said from her evaluation, the mother and Child X needed psychological help.

    Under cross examination by Mr Olatunde Adejuyigbe (SAN), counsel to Adenekan, Ogedengbe said Child X was not tutored on what to say during the interview by neither herself nor her mother.

    She told the court that they used projective techniques in which a client projects their subconscious minds on paper.

    Justice  Nwaka adjourned the case till March 21.
