Read the story as reported by Daily Independent:
An Evboriaria Magistrate Court on Friday sentenced one Micheal Henry Aimufia to two years imprisonment for raping a nursing mother.
Aimufia was said to have raped the woman in a bush at Agowieyan village along Sapele Road near Benin.
Chief Magistrate, Hassana Garuba, held that the prosecuting counsel, Rosemary Igbinakenzua, made a prima facie case against the convict.
Igbinakenzua had informed the court that the convict accosted the woman who was returning home after taking her child to school.
She said Aimufia struck his victim with an object on the head and dragged her into a nearby bush where he raped her.
The court was told that luck ran out of the convict when a vehicle hit him while coming out of the bush.
The driver of the vehicle which fortunately was the husband of the victim attempted to take the convict to hospital and heard the wife’s voice inside the bush.
It was the wife that identified the unconscious convict as the rapist and was arrested after gaining consciousness.
The rapist pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to two years jail term without an option of fine.
An Igbo man can pronounce Aimufia as "Anuofia"... lol!
