against the order of nature, an act which has been prescribed to be an offence and punishable under Section 284 of the Penal Code. I therefore agree with the submission of the prosecuting counsel that the prosecution has proved all the essential elements of the offence against the Defendants and therefore proved its case against the Defendants beyond reasonable doubt in respect of this offence. Consequently, the prosecution having proved its case beyond reasonable doubt against the Defendants in respect of the Unnatural Offence punishable under Section 284 of the Penal Code, hereby find you guilty as charged. Although the Defendants appeared to have retracted their confessional statements during their oral testimony before this court, their confessional statements being clear, direct, positive and unequivocal as to their guilt and substantially corroborated by the evidence of PW2, the retraction cannot prevent this court from accepting them and relying on them in convicting the Defendants since the statements appeared to have been made by the Defendants voluntarily. - State V. Yahaya (2019) 38 WRN 14. - Abdullahi V. State (2019) 16 WRN 145. - Amos V. State (2019) 10 WRN 80. In the case of Kolo V. COP (2019) 22 WRN 1 at 25 paras 45, Ogunbiyi JSC stated the law as follows:“This court in a plethora of cases has held that confession is the best form of evidence, and an accused person can be convicted on his confessional statement alone.” Page 12 of 19
