This is the danger of public and social media trial of people. The courts are not swayed by public opinions or sentiments. Lady Justice is blind, or hence the blindfold.

The court rules in favor of any party that can PROVE its case without ambiguity.

The police or prosecution are lazy and do not adequately prepare for trial, nor pursue evidence in cases.

Delivering judgement on the case, on Wednesday, the judge, Augustine Ityonyiman, of the Benue State High Court in Makurdi, held that the prosecution failed to prove its four-count charge against Mr Ogbuja.

The judge held that police investigators failed to subject the defendant to medical examination in order to match his specimen with the findings in the medical reports that were presented before the court.

In evaluating the evidence, the judge held that the two autopsy reports from the Federal Medical Centre in Makurdi and the Nigerian Police Forensic Laboratory in Lagos, left him quandary.

“I cannot pick and choose which of the autopsy reports to rely on in reaching a just conclusion of this case,” Mr Ityonyiman said.

He said while the autopsy report from the Medical Centre in Makurdi said Miss Ogbanje died of “natural cause,” the one from the Police forensic Laboratory said the deceased “suffered diseases that were related to sexual abuse.”

Ochanya: State court acquits husband of raping minor, federal court convicts wife of negligence



The two courts gave contradictory decisions on the culpability of the lecturer in the rape and subsequent death of the 13-year-old schoolgirl, Ochanya Ogbanje.

And the judiciary is supposed to be the last hope of d common man, where is the hope when the magistrate ignored the video testimony of the dead child and set the rapist free? I hope this judgement is appealed.

So, you think homonyms exist only in English language? Ogbanje means a different thing in Idoma language.

So a man and his son serially raped a 13-year old who happens to be maternally related to the man, yet man was exonerated? Why? undecided

Isn't this what evil is? undecided
Fortunately,the court of law doesn't give a damn about your feelings and Emotional sentiments. You weren't there when it supposedly happened so i wonder why you are so sure he is guilty when the court of law has already Ruled him innocent.
This is how you women believe every rape accusation you hear.

Looks like the standard police incompetence in prosecuting any case

Anyone with a sharp lawyer will always find loopholes in anything they present

By now the sentencing of Evans should have been overturned given the findings about abba kyari.

embarassed What a very sick verdict! I can't remember the last time a Nigerian court found anyone guilty for the crime they committed, foolish country.
so once in a while they should just convict someone?

I don't really understand this court judgement
the girl was raped.

But the husband didn't do it. So STATE COURT acquitted him.

FEDERAL HIGH COURT on the other hand sentenced the mother to jail because she didn't protect the girl from rapists.

Now no one knows who raped the girl. Most probably the son on the run sha.

There is no sufficient evidence that the man raped the girl.
