Yinusa's lawyers were talking about appealing the judgment to ask for the 4 sentences to run concurrently.

Punishment for rape should life imprisonment, isn't it So why was he sentenced to 7 years for each charge

@bolded is a figment of your imagination.

The court was able to establish that there was abduction, induction, deception, coercion and procurement all the way. The girl stood no chance of giving consent.

If the girl were 23, the sentences will still be the same.

You don't know this case well. There was no abduction. She admitted she willingly went with him. See the circled below

She didn't give consent. Otherwise, the man wouldn't have been caught.

Consent is the issue here.
Where does it say that?
He was not charged for doing it. He was charged for doing it AGAINST A MINOR

By the way, see the screenshot below how this person was sentenced to 6 years despite being convicted about a 5 year old

The laws of 2004 and 2015 override the child rights act of 2003 which is why the courts are basing their judgments on them.

According to count 5, the Ese Oruru despite being 14 years old was said not to have given consent. If her consent did not matter, it would not have be stated expressly that she did not give consent.

Based on the sexual offences bill of 2015, the age of consent is now 11. The link below should enlighten you more.

https://legalpediaonline.com/just-decided-latest-judgement-january-30th-2015-2/

Also, ageofconsent.net has the authentic age of consent of all countries in the world based on their most recent laws. Check it out and you will find that the age of consent in Nigeria is 11.

SEX – WHETHER A CHILD IS CAPABLE OF CONSENTING TO SEX
“This is the well laid down position of the law, that a girl under the age of 11 is a child and so is not capable of consenting to sex. The court would hold that she did not consent even if she did consent. A child cannot consent to sex, that is the position of the law”. PER B.RHODES-VIVOUR, JSC

All these articles and editorials don't count in court.

I have given you valid court judgments to corroborate the stand of the law. The most recent one was even given by a woman.

Let me spell them out clearly again:

Defilement of Under-aged Girls: What is the Verdict of the Supreme Court of Nigeria?

Hon. Justice John Inyang Okoro, JSC
The above notable and profound pronouncement forms part of the ipsissima verba of my lord, the Hon. Justice Okoro, Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria when he delivered the leading Judgment on Friday, 30th January, 2015 in the case of BONIFACE ADONIKE v. THE STATE (2015) 7 N.W.L.R (pt 1458) 237 at 266 paragraphs B-D. The case of Boniface Adonike (Supra) once more brings to the fore the duty on sentencing authorities to show in the application of the law that society abhors cases of defilement of young girls. The law on defilement of under-aged girls in Nigeria is provided in Section 218 of the Criminal Code, Cap. 42, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria. The section provides that “any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of thirteen years is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for life, with or without whipping”. Any person who attempts to have unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of thirteen years is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for fourteen years, with or without whipping. [/b]A prosecution for either of the offences defined above in this section must be begun within two months after the offence is committed. A person cannot be convicted of either of the offences defined in this section upon the uncorroborated testimony of one witness.

[b]Yinusa's charges



The charges against Yunusa read: “That you, Yunusa Dahiru, a male, resident in Opolo-Eipie area of Yenagoa in Bayelsa State, conspired with the duo of Dankano Mohammed and Mallam Alhassan, between August 2015 and February 2016, to commit an offence of abduction and thereby committed offence punishable under section 27(a) of the Trafficking in Persons (prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015.”


Count two: “That you, Yunusa Dahiru, abducted Ese Oruru by means of coercion, transported and harboured her in Kano State and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 13(2)(b) of the Trafficking in Persons (prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015.”

Count three: “That you, Yunusa Dahiru induced Ese Oruru by the use of deception and coercion to go [/b]with you from Yenagoa to Kano State with the intent that she be forced or seduced into illicit intercourse and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 15(a) of the Trafficking in Persons (prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015.”

Count four:
“That you, Yunusa Dahiru, procured Ese Oruru and subjected her to sexual exploitation in Kano State and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 16(1) of the Trafficking in Persons (prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015.”

Count five: “That you, Yinusa Dahiru, had unlawful carnal knowledge of Ese Oruru without her consent and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 357 of the criminal code Act and punishable under section 358 of the Criminal code ACT, Cap. C.38 laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.”

What else can be clearer on the subject above than the judgments above

Virginfinder, here’s the rest of it.
Read it, eat your humble pie, then bow out

I know the sexual offences bill of 2015 so well.

The problem with the bill which technically made the age of consent 11 as discovered by legal luminaries is shown below:

Since the passage of the Sexual Offences Bill 2015 a few weeks ago, there has been great agitation from several quarters about the true import of the Bill. To many of the pundits and agitators, the Bill is anathema because of its anticipated provision criminalising sexual activity with a child aged eleven or less. In their opinion, such a provision officially sanctions eleven years as the approved age for sexual activity by children in Nigeria.

https://allafrica.com/stories/201506170104.html

The recent court judgments have been based on the this law and the Criminal code ACT, Cap. C.38 laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.

I am the only one bold enough to stand up to you all.

I don't support paedophilia or child molestation but at the same time the law is the law.

Let us petition the NASS to pass a law stating categorically that the age of consent is 18.

What we have now technically says 11. The judges agree.

So don't blame me. Blame the law and lawmakers.

Why should someone be liable for having consensual sexxx with a lady that is already exposed What a booby trap!

By nature, no innocent girl below 18 will readily make herself available for sexxx. They can only be raped. And then that is a crime!

Sometime ago, I knew a lady who was ready to do all sorts of immoral stuffs with me. In fact, she would be the one to initiate it. She could grab my diccck if I allowed her.
Later, I found out that she had been abused very very early. So will you blame anyone who decides to have consensual sexx with her when she was 11 and above

No where does it say anything about consent. Here is verbatim:
“Makinde, who according to his Counsel, Tunbosun Oladipupo, is impotent, was arraigned on one count bordering on sexual assault of a 13-year-old.”

If she were 23 they wouldn’t have said “... one count bordering on sexual assault of a 23-year-old.”!

I think each states set their own laws. In Lagos state it is 18, but a quick search online will show you 11 years is the Nigeria age of consent.

The age of consent is 18 in most western countries because that is the age a child is allowed to move out of her parents house, the age a child is allowed to graduate highschool, get into college, buy a cigarette, alcohol etc.

In Naija we have people going to university at 15 years old, finishing secondary school at 14, getting into the club without ID checks. The question is if I meet a girl in 200level in the uni in quilox, am I supposed to ask for her age before taking her home? If I don’t will that be considered rape?

The age of consent in Nigeria must be 11 years. Those bearded no-brains up north love Young blood and 18 sounds too old for them. By 18 a Hausa girl is already a grandma anyway.
