A Makurdi Magistrates’ Court on Friday ordered the
remand of a 20-year-old man, Tersoo Ugoo, who
allegedly raped a 20-year- old mentally deranged
woman.
The prosecutor, Insp. Terzungwe Kajo, told the court
that Ugoo committed the offence in October at
Abough Village, behind Makurdi Modern Market.
Kago said that the case was reported at the
Department of Criminal Investigation, ‘D’ Division,
Police Headquarters, Makurdi, by the victim’s
mother.
He submitted that the victim was walking on a
street when the accused dragged her into his house
and raped her.
He said the accused covered the woman’s mouth as
she shouted for help.
The prosecutor said that the offence contravened
Section 284 of the Penal Code, Laws of Benue, 2004.
Ugoo’s plea could not be taken because the
prosecution said that investigation into the matter
was ongoing.
The Magistrate, Mrs. Lillian Tsumba, adjourned the
matter till Dec. 4 for hearing.
