Exciton: The police have 48hrs to charge someone to court or they must release the person, unless they have a valid court order to hold that individual beyond 48hrs. The instant case is different, the police has already charge this guy to court, however the mere fact that one has been charged to court means little in terms of guilt as the police/IPO have to prove their case beyond any reasonable doubt. But, before the time for the IPO to prove their case, the court have to take care of some procedural items like bail for the accused. During bail hearing, the IPO cannot present their case or their evidence...all the judge know about the case at this time is that...Mr abc is charged with xyz. The judge does not know the true facts of the case or the actual actions the accused took for which he/she was brought to court...the IPO has to present all these when the trial begins...but if the accuse have a lawyer or if he/she is learned and want to represent him/herself pro-se, he/she can move a motion at the pre-trial hearing for the case to be dismissed...if the Judge agrees to hear the motion, this forces the IPO to present the facts of their case i.e. why is impregnating someone means negligence? It is at this point that the Judge can throw away the case and set the accused free. However, if the accused does not have a lawyer and he/she is not learned enough to file a pro-de motion. The Judge will proceed with the bail hearing and will then set a bail...if the accuse meets the bail conditions he/she will go home that same day, otherwise they will be sent to jail until they can perfect their bail. Once they are out on bail, it is now up to the IPO to move ahead and present the case or if an out of court settlement is reached, the IPO can withdraw the case. I think in this case, the guy cannot be convicted as what he did, did not amount to negligence...it appear the girl or someone close to her have some type of advantage or favoritism at the Police, hence this charge was brought in the first place...even at that, a Judge cannot dismiss the case until the facts of the case are presented either through a pre trial motion the accused or during trials by the IPO. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Also is she pregnant or did she deliver? Was a reputable DNA test completed? How can you jail someone with such flimsy evidence? Nigeria.... Nigeria 1 Like |

linearity: Thanks for taking your time to explain these things. Now I have a better idea of the right procedure. I was just being paranoid with the oppression thing I guess. One final question: But upon hearing very flimsy reason that the unmarried man was arrested, shouldn't the judge dismiss bail hearing and call for an immediate pre-trial hearing? It seems the right thing to do IMO. |

I'm curious. How are we even sure the pregnancy is his? The baby hasn't been born yet so no paternity test can be carried out. It's the ladies word against his. She might have as well slept with hundreds of other men and gotten pregnant. You can't expect a man to foot another man's child bills. How did the Judge arrive at his decision without proof that the pregnancy actually belongs to him? Even if he owns up to it, a scientific proof must be presented. This story is either fake or somethin' else went down that hasn't been disclosed. 1 Like |

Although the man entrapped himself, there is no court of law that can jail him for not marrying a woman he impregnated - even if her father is the Supreme Court judge. |

omoelerin1: Paying for prenatal care doesn't make sense, because there is no evidence to confirm the man as the father. The only way to confirm would be for the mother to get an amniocentesis and compare the DNA in the amniotic sac to the man's DNA. It would require a needle being inserted into the uterus. Most women are not going to get that. So there is very little chance of a person proving that the man is a father of the child, before the child is delivered. The law should be challenged. 2 Likes |

Is this really what happens? If two people have a child out of wedlock they have to marry? |
Re: Man Sent To Prison For Failing To Marry A Lady He Got Pregnant In Lagos by eyinjuege: 8:42pm On Aug 19, 2017 |
Ishilove: The courts are not advocating they marry. Just that the man pays her antenatal and hospital bills and also provide child support when it's time. The govt hospitals are probably tired of bailing out indigent cases they accept to treat, especially when there are other options available like getting the man who impregnated her to foot part of her antenatal and delivery bills. Remember for now, there's no free health care in Naija. There may be cheap healthcare, but not free |
