SHANDE v. STATE

       

 EJIWUNMI, J.S.C.: (Delivering the Leading 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 said application was supported by proofs of evidence, the statement of the appellant 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.
