The judge then adjourned the case to the following day and released Mr Orji from detention to allow him to put his affairs in order before sentencing and imprisonment. In their unanimous judgment on 13 June 2024, Lord Justice William Davis, Mrs Justice McGowan, and Mrs Justice Cockerill agreed with the solicitor general and consequently increased Mr Orji’s jail term from 10 to 15 years.The judges noted that Mr Orji’s purported good character was of little weight, given the gravity of the offences, and that the sentence needed to be increased to ensure public confidence in the judicial system.
However, according to court documents, Mr Orji took advantage of her vulnerability and subjected her to a series of rape attacks. AB stated that before her arrival, Mr Orji sent her a message which she thought was sexually suggestive. However, she still considered the offer and travelled to the United Kingdom.The court said, “The first occasion on which AB was raped occurred when the offender came into her bedroom late at night. He pulled her from her bed and dragged her downstairs.
“AB had downloaded a recording app onto her telephone after the first incident of rape. She audio-recorded significant parts of this final incident.
