This is a case of rape by Appellant of a girl aged 15 years old. The appellant after defiling her, continued to have sexual intercourse with the girl until she was pregnant. At the time of hearing of the case, the girl gave birth to a child. At the end of the trial the appellant was sentenced to 6 years’ imprisonment with hard labour. The appellant in his appeal prays the court to reduce his sentence to a lesser one on grounds that he is first-time offender and is willing to take care of the girl and the child. The appeal was however dismissed and the sentence maintained.
