In the case of Rabiu V. State (Supra) at page 508 paragraphs B-C I.T. Muhammad JCA (as he then was) while stating what constitute the commission of the offence of rape, held as follows:“Rape is the unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman by a man forcibly and against her will. Or put more tersely, it is the act of sexual intercourse committed by a man with a woman not his wife and without her consent…” - Iko V. State (Supra) - Okoyomon V. State (Supra) - Igbine V. State (Supra) In consideration of all the foregoing and the Exhibits having been accepted and believed by this court the only conclusion that can be made from the facts and circumstances collected consequent upon the evaluation of the evidence adduced before this court, is that the defendant’s confessional statement were actually made by him voluntarily on the respective dates as indicated on them as well as committed the offence with which he is charged. I am therefore in complete agreement with the prosecution counsel that the prosecution has proved all the essential elements of the offence of rape as required by against the defendant. The prosecution having proved all the essential elements of the offence, has therefore proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. Page 16 of 19
