Rape
has gotten out of hand in Nigeria. The same way women, in different region,
give birth on a daily basis; rape is reported in different parts of the country
every day. In fact, National Dailies are now incomplete a day without
publishing a rape-case. Imagine, a 30-year-old man attacked, raped and
impregnated a poor 12-year-old girl in Ado-Ekiti area of Ekiti State.
Consequently, the innocent girl, an orphan, dropped out of school. According to
Sun news report, a gang of young men deceived, raped and eventually murdered a
middle-aged salesgirl in Ughelli North Local government, Delta state.
Likewise,
on first October, 2016, the National Mirror reported a case of 19-year-old
girl. The lady was raped and video-recorded by an ‘okada’ rider who, eventually,
claimed to be her boyfriend. According to Daily Trust publication (October 27,
2016), Kaduna state Police command arrested a man of 32 for raping a girl of 14
until she fell into coma. Can you also imagine? An innocent pregnant house
wife, 22-years-old, was repeatedly raped right inside her matrimonial home in
Kano State.
