Akwa Ibom State born Dominic accepted that he did it but that he was drunk the day he slept with her. He reportedly told the police that his wife died and he had no money to marry another wife and so was tempted to sleep with the victim but not with the intention to impregnate her.
The police found him culpable and arraigned him in court for defilement.
His plea was not taken, rather the Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. Sule Amzat ordered him to be remanded in prison custody without an option of bail. The court ordered the prosecutor, Inspector Benson Emuerhi to duplicate his case file and send to DPP for advice.
