The appellant and two others were charged before the High Court of Kano State with conspiracy, abduction, rape and illicit sexual intercourse of one Hindatu Sani (f), 16 years old. The offences are contrary to Sections 97(1), 273,283 and 275 of the Penal Code respectively. There were 10 counts in all. The appellant was charged in counts 1, 2 and 7 with conspiracy, abduction and rape.

The prosecutrix, PW5, was allegedly abducted by the accused persons, kept by the appellant and passed around several police officers at different places for sexual intercourse without her consent. The appellant and his co-accused were found guilty by the trial Court, convicted and sentenced to various fines and terms of imprisonment. The appellant's appeal to the Court of Appeal was found to be unmeritorious and was dismissed. The judgment of the trial Court was affirmed. Thus there are concurrent findings of fact by the two lower Courts.
