Man’s
Explanation Why He Raped Best Friend’s Wife; A man in Borno has been
sentenced to 10 years in prison after being convicted of rape.
Babagana Mohammed was charged to court and could not establish his innocence as claimed thus he was found guilty.
The sentence was handed down by a High Court in Maiduguri and
Babagana, according to reports from his community, had a reputation
for forcing his way with married women. Luck ran out on him when he
decided to commit the crime closer to home. 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 court, Barrister Sanda, Babagana
was sentenced in accordance with the provisions of Section 283 of the
Penal Code of Nigeria.
Wakil had, while pronouncing the judgment, observed that “the crime
of rape 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.”
In his defence, Babagana simply described his act as “a mistake”.
