In the ruling on Saturday, D.E. Adokeme, the presiding judge, held that the prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Needam committed the offence of rape.

Pere Egbuson, the lead prosecutor, told the court that 41-year-old Needam started abusing his daughter when she was seven years old.

Adokeme ruled that the DNA result evidence presented by the prosecution, which revealed a 99.99 percent positive, proved that the convict was the father of the victim’s child. He added that the judgment would serve as a deterrent to others who engage in such “unimaginable acts”.
