20-Year Old Man Jailed Over Sex With Goat In Abuja

The Nation reports that an Upper Area Court in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has sentenced a 20-year-old tailor, Sani Abdul, to one year imprisonment for having sex with a she-goat. The prosecutor, Ocheche Samuel, told the court that the case was reported at the Kuje Police Station by
Doh Ibrahim of the same address with the suspect.

Samuel said Abdul was caught in a bathroom at Sauka Extension having intercourse with the she-goat. He added that when the accused heard footsteps approaching where he was having carnal knowledge of the goat, he tried to escape, but was caught and handed over to the police.

Samuel said the offence contravened Section 284 of the Criminal Code. The accused, who resides at Sauka Extension in Kuje, was later sentenced to one year imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to one count charge of unnatural and indecent offence.

The presiding Judge, Mr. Adamu Wakili, however, gave him an option of a fine of N15, 000. He also ordered that the accused be remanded in Kuje Prison for one year if he could not meet the fine condition.
