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

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.
