Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Mr Edwin Ochayi, told the court that the matter was reported by a team of policemen attached to the Asokoro Police Station, Abuja.
He told the court that the defendant criminally trespassed into the shop of one Gloria Joseph, wife of Pius Gwaza of Kuruduma, Asokoro, Abuja and started having sex with her.
Ochayi said that when Gloria’s husband caught them, the defendant engaged him in a fight and in the process used a sharp object to inflict injury on him and the wife.
He said during police investigation, the defendant voluntarily confessed to committing the crime.
The prosecutor said the offence contravened the provision of Sections 97, 242 and 387 of the Penal Code.
