Terrorism prevention Act 2011 and 2013 merged
In 2011 the Nigerian Senate passed into law the Terrorism (Prevention) Act, 2011. Act no.10 It was quite inelegantly drafted and in a bid to suppress the mischief, an amendment was passed into law in 2013.Be that as it may, the 2011 and 2013 Acts existed seperately, thus making it almost impossible to study or understand the Act. This is an attempt to merge the two Acts into one and make sense out of it

charge brought pursuant to section 185(b) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The

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.
