The Appellant was convicted of the offence of rape of a girl
aged 15 years. His appeal to the High Court was not successful. He appealed
against the decision of the High Court on the following grounds. First that the
trial and first appellate courts erred in law by basing the conviction on the
uncorroborated evidence of PW1 alone, second that the trial and first appellate
courts erred in law by relying on the cautioned statement whose admissibility
had not been proved by conducting a trial within trial and third that the
alleged rape was not proved as the PF.3 did not show that PW1 was raped. No
bruises were found on her body. The Court of Appeal considered all the grounds
raised.
