Some aggrieved youths in Ibadan, Oyo State, under the aegis of the Akinyele Youth Forum, on Monday, demanded an end to rape and killings in the city, saying the perpetrators must not go unpunished.
The youth, during a peaceful rally in the metropolis, expressed worries over the spate of rape and killings, and the failure of security agencies to track down those behind the crime.
He said, “We demand urgent action on sexual violence against women, especially our teenage girls, who were raped to death by some unidentified rapists in the Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State. Although sexual assault occurs worldwide, the spate of killings and rape of girls in the local government nowadays deserves the special and immediate attention of all stakeholders.
“What are the security operatives doing? What impact is our political representatives in the Akinyele Local Government making and what is the result of the intervention of the religious leaders? We call on the local government administration, the police and other stakeholders to ensure speedy investigation and prosecution of the perpetrators.”
