“He gave me an egg to rub all over my body and broke it inside a bucket where he kept a black with red thread.

“He ordered me to lie down on the bed and then had sexual intercourse with me, saying I should go home and bring the sum of N16,000 to complete the sacrifice.

“But on getting home, I became conscious and told my mother about the incident.

“He had earlier warned me not to tell anyone about him otherwise I would die but I told my mother.”

The prosecutor, called three witnesses and tendered the defendant’s statements as an exhibit to prove his case.

The defendant who spoke in his own defence through his lawyer called no witnesses.

In his judgement, Justice Ogunmoye ruled, “The inevitable conclusion in the circumstance is that the guilt of the defendant had been established beyond a reasonable doubt, thus necessitating his conviction.

“He is accordingly convicted as charged and hereby sentenced to life imprisonment.”
