Rising cases of rape in Nigeria
Vera Uwaila Omozuwa was raped and murdered in the church. Barakat Bello got raped and murdered in her house. Jennifer also suffered the same unfortunate fate, and there are many more cases.
Also, in Nigeria, we don’t like to talk about rape issues, and when we do, it is done in whispers, and in private clusters. Every day, news outlets, churn out contents that chronicle this gruesome act on hapless and vulnerable victims. The criminal and penal codes of 1990 are the laws guiding rape justice in Nigeria. The code is deficient in many ways.There is need to beam the searchlight on some of the grey areas in the provision of the laws, loopholes in implementation and excesses of implementing agencies.
Ignoring the issue will teach the younger generation that they can get away with such crimes. Victims should learn to speak up, as in so doing, the crime can be tackled.
