Court Sentence 25-year-old to Life Imprisonment for Raping Boy in Jigawa

A State High Court sitting in Jigawa, on Thursday, has sentenced 25-year-old Aminu Ali to life imprisonment for raping and sodomising a 10-year-old boy.

The presiding judge, Justice Musa Ubale, found Ali guilty after the prosecution had established “beyond reasonable doubt” that he lured the victim and engaged in anal sex with him.

To prove its case, the prosecution counsel presented five witnesses and submitted four exhibits, including a medical report.

In his ruling, Justice Ubale said the prosecution had established its case beyond reasonable doubt.

Consequently, the judge sentenced the convict to life imprisonment under Section 3 (2&4) of the Violence Against Person Prohibition Law of Jigawa State (VAPP LAW).

Justice Ubale, however, stated that the convict has the legal right to appeal the judgment within three months.
