Judgment): This appeal may be rightly described as the fury or rage into which
a jealous wife could be driven. Before the appellant in this appeal was
arraigned before the High Court of Benue State in the Benue State Judicial
Division, holden at Makurdi upon the application of the prosecution to prefer a
charge brought pursuant to section 185(b) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The

and the medical report of the deceased. As the learned trial Judge, having read
the said application with the documents attached thereto, granted leave for the
preferment of the charge against the appellant. The court also ordered that the
appellant be served with the proofs of evidence and the charge.

CORROBORATION IN NIGERIA: IS THERE ANY JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUIREMENT OF CORROBORATION IN RAPE CASES- - - ANEKE, KENECHUKWU CHRISTOPHER
CORROBORATION IN
NIGERIA: IS THERE ANY JUSTIFICATION FOR THE REQUIREMENT OF CORROBORATION IN
RAPE CASES?*
ABSTRACT
Rape on the prosecutrix leaves a scar on her
soul, but a false accusation of rape on a man may also leave a scar on his
whole personality. Rape is the most morally and physically reprehensible crime
in a society as it is an assault on the body, mind and privacy of the victim...a
rapist degrades and defiles the soul of a helpless female. Rape shakes the very
core of her life. Rape is tantamount to a serious blow to the supreme honour of
a woman, and offends, both her esteem and dignity.[1]
This paper examines the procedural requirement of corroboration, in rape cases,
of the evidence of the prosecutrix. The paper wishes to justify, to some
extent, the requirement of corroboration in rape cases.
