From this piece of evidence, the question that calls for answer is what day and month in 2014 this incident happened? It is on record that the DW3 in his evidence-in-chief stated that the accused person never sent them to the river at night and they do fetch water in the day time. Also the DW2, the Step mother to the PW3 stated in her evidencein-chief that she is a trader that sell ice block; that she do go to market by 6:00 a.m. and return sometime at 2 o’clock. From the evidence adduced, I am of the considered view that the piece of evidence as stated above by the PW3 is doubtful. It is also the evidence of PW3 that the accused asked her to follow him into the bush at Dutse to get a stick to build batcher. On reaching the bush he asked her to lie down and when she lay down he started beating her and he had sex with her that day. When he saw someone coming he ran away into the bush. Again, the question that comes to mind is did the PW3 report the incidence to the person coming that made the accused ran into the bush. The PW3 did not as a reasonable and responsible girl, that detest the action of the accused person. She ought to have reported to the person coming or to some other person. This piece of evidence to my mind is not worthy of believe. The PW3 further stated in her evidence-in-chief, thus: “My 2 brothers came back from the stream and they were knocking at the door and he asked me not to open the door or go anywhere. Two of our neighbours sitting in front of our door and they were gisting and they heard me crying and shouting” 23
