The incessant issue of rape has gone so high in Nigeria that there seem to be no day gone by without a report of rape and robbery. The year 2013 experienced about 207 recorded rape cases going by Campign Against Molestation of Young Women (CAMYW) document. This year in its first three months has also witnesses countless rape cases from various states and towns: Ibadan, Agege, Borno, Ejigbo, Alimosho, Ipaja and the list goes on..
A young girl of about 14 years was gruesomely raped by an unknown man as the night guard "salted" the assault by chasing her into the cold street to groan to death. Another young girl was forced into a kiosk at Iyana-Ipaja by a man who claimed that the 13 year old girl is his girlfriend.There are also claims by women who had allegedly suffered forced intercourse from the clutches of our so called celebrities. Not to mention that young 300 level lady that was raped and killed.
Lets discuss this issues in our homes, schools, churches and identify what has brought our dear country into this mess which we used to see as western cross.
The rate of rape-related cases in Nigeria has called for concern and we feel it is now necessary for stakeholders to fashion out a workable modality that will save our youth from this evil act.
