    bed sheet
    the victim's pant and 
    a medical report indicating forceful penetration. 

Adding that the prosecutor failed to tender most of the above. Okpara also failed to exhibit the bruises on her behalf private part as evidence that she was molested, the judge said. He further said the prosecutor failed to exhibit to the court the plaintiff's torn clothes as she had claimed in her submissions prior to the court. While stressing that the case of rape must be proved with injuries sustained on the private part as well as the rest of the human body, Falola said the court was not convinced that Okpara sustained any injury.

Falola said the court could establish the truth that Okpara and the monarch have been having regular sexual relationship before a misconception ensued between them.
He, however, condemned such relationship involving a traditional ruler, saying his action had brought his stool into disrepute as well as disgrace to his family and community.
