It is intriguing that inspite of the overwhelming evidence adduced by the prosecution, the appellant has persistently held out and resisted that the prosecution had linked him with the offence of rape proved. On a careful perusal of exhibit 'B' and 'C', the statements made by the accused person at both Mariri Division of the Nigeria Police and the State C.I.D Bompai Kano, the revelation becomes obvious that the appellant confessed to raping the victim (Pw1) when in exhibit 'B' at the last line on page 1 to line 3 of the second page he said:- "... but when I put my penis into her private part, it did not go inside as I want, then I removed my penis because I did not enjoy the situation." Also in exhibit 'C', at page 2 lines 7 - 10 the appellant had this to say: "I then dragged her into the uncompleted building. She removed one leg of her pant, while I removed the other one. She then stands on a block, while I tried to have sex with her, but I could not penetrate into her vagina. When I heard she was about to cry, I then left her and gave her N40.00 she demanded." On the question of corroboration sought by the appellant, same cannot be at large, but should be defined in the context of the case of Odofin Bello V. The State (1966) 1 All NLR 223 at 230 wherein it was held that:"Corroborative evidence is evidence which shows or tends to show not merely that the crime has been committed but that it was committed by the accused."
