The judge, Yahaya Mohammed, sentenced Vongjen on Friday, after he pleaded guilty to the crime and begged for mercy.
“You will spend four years in prison for this callous act; there is no option of fine,” Mohammed stated.
He said that the judgement would serve as a deterrent to others.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quotes the prosecutor, Mr. O. Edwin, as telling the court that Vongjen, a resident of Lamingo, in Jos, lured his victim with N500 and forcefully raped her in his room, on Sept. 20.
