A struggle ensued between him and Okereke after she insulted him for demanding sex. According to him, it was during the struggle that he overpowered the woman and subsequently had forceful intercourse with her.

He said, ‘’I was seriously drunk and saw a woman in the night walking along the road alone. I approached her for sex and she started abusing me. We started abusing ourselves and I immediately pounced on her and she started struggling with me to free herself. I was seriously drunk at that time.’’

“I don’t know whether I was having sex with her but she was on the ground with me. I did not hit her with any object but (it) is like I had sex with her for one round. We were both on the ground when a man flashed a light on me and I ran away.
