A middle aged man, Babagana Mohammed, has been sentenced to spend 10
years behind prison bars after being convicted of rapé. The sentence was
handed down by a High Court in Maiduguri, Borno State capital and it
was established that the convict was fond of s*xually assaulting a
married women.
Babagana, according to reports from his community, had a reputation for forcing his way with married women,
until luck ran out on him, when he decided to commit the crime closer
home, when he attempted to rape the young wife of his best friend, whom
he visited after her husband had travelled out of town.
According to the Registrar of the High Court, Barrister Sanda, Babagana
was sentenced in accordance with the provisions of Section 283 of the
Penal Code of Nigeria.
Justice Wakil had, while pronouncing the
judgment, observed that “the crime of rapé has assumed a universal
dimension and therefore people should be wary of associates and
acquaintances with such evil tendencies”.
The judge described the
convict as “a poacher of married women whose act is reprehensible and
callous. He is thereby sentenced to 10 years in prison with hard
labour.”
Babagana had described his act as “a mistake” but the court ignore his childish excuse
