Ekiti Reps seek stiffer penalties for rapists
Ogunlola who represents Ekiti West Federal Constituency II condemned the incessant cases of rape and brutality against the girl-child, calling on relevant authorities to apply the full weight of the law on perpetrators of rape and other gender-based violence.
She noted that cases of sexual-related offences should be tackled with seriousness and high sense of commitment, adding that unless timely action is taken against the heinous act, rape cases will continue to soar. “I think it’s high time our government across levels stood up to rescue the girl-child from the hydra-headed menace of rape that has constituted itself a threat to humanity.
