The defendant made a confessional statement which was tendered in court.

In his trial, the defendant retracted the confessional statement and denied committing the offence.

Delivering judgement, Honourable Justice Flora Ngozi Azinge held that the evidence of the four-year-old child and the witness who caught him in the act together with the defendant’s own confessional statement proved beyond reasonable doubt that he committed the offence.

Justice Azinge held that the defence raised in the confessional statement of the defendant to the effect that he lost all sense of reasoning after a native doctor laid hands on him and directed him to have sex with any woman he saw was untenable and an afterthought.

He described the defendant as a paedophile, whose conduct in raping his own four-year-old child was callous, animalistic, barbaric and against the laws of God.

She stated that the society needed to be protected from persons like the defendant who prey on children.

The court thereafter sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment.
