FEW OF 2016 RECORDED RAPE CASES IN NIGERIA.


RAPE - no matter how it is painted, who is involved  is very ugly and shouldn't be excused!

The year 2016 has recorded many cases of rape at all ages and I keep wondering what is the way out?



  • Rape suspect escapes from court in Awka;A 23-year-old rape suspect, Okpara Miracle, who was arrested for kidnapping, rape and cultism -  https://www.today.ng/news/nigeria/192263/rape-suspect-escapes-court-awka

    • Herbalist, Emeka Obu rapes 15 year-old-girl in Anambra, The father of the victim, Ifemesi, told newsmen that “the 52-year-old native doctor visited the victim’s house in the absence of anybody; silenced her by covering her mouth, tore her panties and had carnal knowledge of her - https://www.today.ng/news/nigeria/189942/herbalist-rapes-15-year-girl-anambra 

      • Police arrest 50-year-old man for raping 13-year-old girl. The 50 years old man ambushed the victim while she was on her way to fetch water and dragged her to an uncompleted building in the Abule Taju area of the town, where he raped her.- https://www.today.ng/news/metro/181362/police-arrest-50-year-man-raping-13-year-girl  

         I recently engaged in a conversation with some friends about rape and majority kept saying that is mostly caused from the way the victims are dressed and some other mind blowing opinions. 

      Yes! dressing contributes but how did the dressing of  13 years old girl on her way to fetch water seduce a 50 years old grandpa?.   we need to understand that this rape is not just a responses to stimulus - is actually a "thought through" process before it was acted upon.
