I too find no merit in the appeal ad is hereby dismissed. The concurrent judgments of the two Lower Courts are hereby affirmed. Appeal dismissed. OLABODE RHODES-VIVOUR, J.S.C.: I read in draft the leading judgment delivered by my learned brother Ogunbiyi, JSC. I agree with my lord that both Courts below were correct to convict the Appellant for rape. I intend to say a few words of mine. Section 282 and 283 of the Penal Code Lawstates on rape as follows: "282 (1). A man is said to commit rape, who save in the case referred to in SubSection (2) has sexual intercourse with a woman in any of the following circumstances(a) against her will; (b) without her consent; (c) with her consent, when her consent has been obtained by putting her in fear of death or of hurt; (d) with her consent, when the man knows that he is not her husband and that her consent is given because she believes that he is another man to whom she is or believes herself to be lawfully married. (e) with or without her consent, when she is under fourteen years of age or of unsound mind. (2) Sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife is not rape, if she has attained to puberty." "283. Whoever commits rape shall be punished with imprisonment for life or for any less term and shall also be liable to fine."
