then you are ignorant.....
the onus is on the girl to prove räpe was attempted by the victim and every possibility shall be explored by the prosecutors.

Okija juju:


[b]I am now very very confused...

1. The girls age has no bearing on the issue at hand. Cynthia Okosogu was older than 18 when she travelled across regions of Nigeria to meet strangers in a hotel.

2. She did take a decision that eventually saved her life.

3. Her following him to his house has nothing to do with anything. I know a girl that was raped inside her own fathers house. Another girl was raped repeatedly by the driver employed by her father. So whats your point?!

4. It does not matter if he took her to the bar, bought her birthday presents or if she promised him her virginity on her 18th birthday eve, the point remains that she said she didn’t give consent to be raped and he tried to force his way on her.

5. The absence of a witness is not the absence of a crime nor does it make her claims less true. If the boy had succeeded in raping her and she came out to report, I'm sure there wouldn’t have been any witnesses.

6. Going to a guys house by 10pm is not a crime. Sleeping on the same bed with a woman is not and has never been a license to f`uck her nor does it mean consent. Wearing a bum short by 10pm 0r 3am is not and will never be a crime. The fact that a girl follows you to your house from a bar or pub does not mean she wants to f`uck you nor is it a license to r`ape her.

P.S: I noticed you hyphenated your 'Attempted rape'.. Funny stuff!! If she hadn’t stabbed that muthafucker to death, it would have been 'Rap`e' and maybe even 'murder' as well. [/b]

chiwuike20: D worst aspect of d story is dat in d attempt to get what he wanted he denied his loyalty to God, and God in turn left him to d mercy of d devil. Too sad a story

brosdoncome:

Na here all diz charge and bail lawyer go wan come dey show themselves....am sure since wen dem call u to bar, one case u neva handle....na una type we dey c for ikeja high court dey price case, wear suite wey dey beg for redemption Abeg no mind me oh!!!!

coogar:


i didn't even have to try so hard - easy peasy lemon squeezy!



1) the story is shyte
2) google "crimes of passion"
3) duh - she had to report to make her tales believeable. she's also aware there are people like you who would believe her story because she made the report. it's called reverse psychology!

Zither: Now tell us Missy, how she carries out the burden of proof...when she has not been accused of any crime except self defence?

toluene12:
hmm, all these are attributed to a local ibadan girl whose world probably revolves round blackberry and 'oko mi'.
This is naija not 'law & order'.

ITbomb: Wetin she go do for guy house ?
Imagine question , ' is this what we came for '
Before nko , u follow a drunk to his house and expect him to play ludo with u after he had locked the door
SMH at Fishbrains

wellmax: Self defense indeed. Did you read where she mentioned that he was drunk.
Anyways the dead don't talk, so the girl can say whatever she likes.
A guy took you to his house in the night, he's drunk and you wonder what he will do, celebrate birthday I guess.
The girl is simply wayward.

ola_pluto:
The fact that he did not force her to follow him home is a strong prosecution point here. Agreeing to follow him home without really knowing much about him could be seen as an intent for malicious murder. I do not like cooking up conspiracies, but she will serve some time behind bars for this no matter her defense. However, I say again that she should be allowed to go home till the case is built up

coogar:
self defence is a crime? you are a stark illiterate. she's been charged for murder and she's claiming self-defence as her right to protect herself from any harm. it goes to show the kind of half-baked graduates nigeria is producing lately......

Delafruita:
perhaps.however,the post you quoted claimed to know the boy in question and claimed the boy and girl had been dating for a while.take the bias out of your thoughts and focus on the merits and demerits of her case.if it can be proven that they had been dating,then it brings in a totally diffferent angle to the case.she made reference to a very irrelevant information in her explanation which was that on the first day she went to his house with her friend "his girlfriend was laying on the ...."could this have been a crime of passion?was she jealous?did she have a crush on him and feel betrayed?you cant come to a conclusion simply because she claimed he wanted to rafe her.there are so many scenarios to consider

Zither: [b]You have erroneously misconstrued my sentence formation....no need to get irked and vituperative Missy...it is a low form of argument.

Read my post again. It doesn't say self defense is a crime for which she is being tried but that her only 'crime' in this case is 'self defense.' If she had persevered through the ordeal of forced sexual intercourse..and died in the process, then your likes will don the air of sympathy for her plight renting the air with cries of justice....

Though unnatural justice is served....

however, your intellectual lens of perception view her self defense as improper defense, injustice meted on the deceased.

It seems your notion of self defense is 'an half-hearted attempt to resist the assailant in which the victim was eventually over-powered'...

Missy, the part, I think, that disturbs you is the total absence of witnesses. If that is the case, then victims should set out before time to locate a 'public' spot for the crime scene in which they were the hapless victims.....just in case they narrowly survive the encounter and the 'culprit' does not.....there will be tons of witnesses to corroborate the victim's story....eh? Makes sense, right?

Prima facie, the facts nod in agreement with the story....pending further investigation to the contrary[/b]

Farayolas: I am sorry for the present generation if the adults can be so proud of someone committing murder/manslaughtering and seeing over 50 likes.

emusmith: Onyinyechi is an IGBO name... She went in search for money or a gift... She had another motive!!! It turned our sour. EVIL COMMUNICATION CORRUPT GOOD MANNERS. She is also a bad, wassup, gal. She would have agreed if not for her mensis... She had WRONG MOTIVE. May God forgive for taking a life...dis is not self defense but murder her ignorance, insensitivity, greed, foolishness and BEGGERLY ATTITUDE has caused. mtchheeew...

fluteman:

Its called ethnocentricism,( the ibos joyous of their illustrous daughter for killing a Yoruba boy and clicking a million likes) and it lacks compassion or basic common sense..dats all

gramci: From her story there's no motive for killing him other than self defence

Delafruita:
finally you agree that she stabbed him to death and ot that she just swung aimlessly.thats been my point all along.i dont deny that the foolissh boy attempted to rape her,however,i wot accept the fact that she had no malicious intent when she swung that knife especially since don ewizzy wasnt armed when she was in possession of the knife.you cal call it a moment of rage or a loss of consciousness of right and wrong but the reality is she swung with intent to kill.hell,she could even have been threatening with the knife before stabbing the morafoka
