Sanctity is fast being taken over by rape and incest in the Nigerian society and the dawn of each day seems to hold shocking newscast on either of the two. It has become a nightmare that fathers are beginning to find pleasure in sexually molesting their daughters and quickly faulting the devil for their disconcerting sexual craze.
Bauchi state police command has arrested a 45 years old man for allegedly raping her 11 years old biological daughter and his only excuse was ‘temptation.’ According to Abubakar Magaji, he molested his daughter who is barely a teenager because his wife left him; temptation led him to having unlawful carnal knowledge of his daughter twice because he needed a “woman” to be with.
Police Commissioner, Lawal Shehu has expressed his concern over the increase rate of rape and child molestation and vowed that all rape suspects will be charged to court and prosecuted. “since January, we have arrested over 10 suspected rapist, only this week we recorded over 5 cases. It is worrisome that among the suspects arrested include a 45 year old man who raped his 11 years old daughter and two aged men who are between 45 to 54 years who raped teenage girls of between 2 years and 4 years.” He said. As rape and insects take over the norms of the Nigeria, questions to be raised are; “will a court charge and prosecution be enough to stop this nightmare? How is the government supposed to protect children from their parents? What will be the psychological state of children who have been molested by those who ought to protect them? Does Nigeria even have a functioning child service agency?”
