Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye sentenced Williams Udoh and Ubong Isaiah for raping a married woman during a robbery incident they initiated. There is no room for any mistaken identity that the defendants were actually those who participated in the armed robbery. “The testimony of PW3 was also corroborated by PW2, which is cogent to establish that PW3 was indeed raped. “Having established the offences of rape and armed robbery, the prosecution has indeed proved its case beyond every reasonable doubt.
