“This court will not ask you whether the allegation read and explained to you is true or false as the offence of rape can only be tried by the High Court. After police investigation, your case file would be taken to Ministry of Justice for legal advice. If a prima facie case is established against you, then you will be tried at the high court,” Dikko said.
