After a thorough examination of the evidence and hearings from both sides, the court determined that the prosecution had incontrovertibly proven the guilt of the accused.
Consequently, the court declared the accused guilty of rape, a violation of Section 3 (1) and punishable under Section 3 (2a & 2b) of the VAPP Laws of Jigawa State.
This verdict comes after the recent sentencing of Aminu Ali, 25, to life imprisonment for rape and sodomy in the state high court.
