A 41-year-old Nigerian man has been sentenced to 13 years in prison after being convicted of multiple counts of rape, assault, and threats against his wife. The case highlighted the extreme abuse endured by the victim, who suffered a miscarriage due to the violence. The court heard harrowing details of the man’s blackmail tactics and emotional manipulation during their six-year marriage. Despite the conviction, he continues to deny the charges. The judge emphasized the need for post-release supervision, given the high risk of re-offending.
