 Justice Abodunde discharged and acquitted the defendant on counts 4 and 5 saying, no reasonable court can convict him on the offence of rape, given the totality of the evidence of prosecution with respect of offence of rape. “He is found not guilty and discharged and acquitted on the offence of rape.”
