According to the police prosecutor, the defendant, a neighbour to the victim, saw her stealing meat in another neighbour’s pot and threatened to expose her but on the condition that he had sex with her.

He said the victim did not accept the condition until she was raped in the process.

The prosecution asked the court to detain the prisoner while legal advice from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) was still waiting.

Still, the defendant’s plea was not accepted.

Pending the delivery of the legal counsel, Chief Magistrate Dolamu Babalogbon ordered the defendant’s detention in the correctional center.

She then delayed the matter until Aug. 7 for mention.
