“The most worrisome is that some fathers raped their daughters more during the lockdown. In many cases, fathers who rape their daughters threaten to kill them if they report.
There were about 80 rape cases reported in Anambra State since the COVID-19 lockdown, the state director of Child Welfare Services in the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, Mrs Nkechi Anazodo, has said.
She said other organisations involved in the campaign were the National Population Commission and National Orientation Agency . “It is unfortunate that some men have left their wives to be having sexual relationship with children less than five years. “The state government has created a place called ‘task sexual assault centre’ at the Engwu-Ukwu General Hospital purposely for treating rape victims.”
The National Association of Nigerian Students yesterday spoke out against rape, with students marching round markets and other parts of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
