Inspector Ogbe said the offence is punishable under Section 218 of the Criminal Code Cap 48 Vol II Laws of the defunct Bendel State now applicable in Edo State.

Ibrahim told the court he opted to leave vengeance for God.
Presiding Magistrate, D.I Adamaigbo, cautioned the accused person to stop lying by insisting he did not sleep with the victim.
Adamaigbo warned Abdullahi to desist from the act as he was lucky that the victim decided not to press
charges.
