The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons has decried the increasing cases of rape, incest and domestic abuse among Nigerians during the stay-at-home order due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
The palliatives were donated by the Alumni Association of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Plateau State, to the Federal Capital Territory Administration, which thereafter gave the items to NAPTIP. She said, “Domestic and sexual abuses have been crazy. The cases are increasing. I think some men are suffering from cabin fever. They are not used to staying at home with their wives. So the more their wives are in their faces, the more they get angry and beat them up. We recorded over 30 cases during a certain period.
The AANI Vice-President, Hajiya Aisha Dankani, said the palliatives included bags of 10kg rice, 500 packets of noodles and 30 packets each containing 50 bottles of cooking oil.
