An Akwa Ibom State High Court in Uyo has sentenced Apostle Williams Okon Bassey, a 50-year-old pastor, to 49 years in prison for the repeated defilement of his biological daughter. The court found him guilty of committing the act on multiple occasions, resulting in three incestuous pregnancies in 2012, 2014, and 2015. The conviction underscores the serious nature of the offenses, which have drawn significant attention to issues of child protection and abuse within communities. The ruling aims to serve as a deterrent against similar crimes in the future.
