Fighting the rape
epidemic in a pandemic
“
I’m sorry mummy, he said he was going to
kill me if I told anyone.”
That was Gift, a nine-year-old girl who was
repeatedly raped by the son of her mother’s
friend who had come to live with them.
Gift was lucky to have come out alive to tell
her story, but girls like little Khadijat, Omozuwa
and Barakat Bello could not live to tell their
stories.
What a wicked world! The rape of a lady is
not just the abuse of her body and sexuality; it is
the abuse of her mind and spirit which halts her
mindset, poisons her soul and alters her future.
For some victims, it is the complete lockdown
of their existence and shutdown of glorious
ambitions which eventually drives them to a
premature end.
Recently, rape is everywhere and it is
gradually becoming an everyday phenomenon
which has resulted to an epidemic we must
collectively fight. Rape is a heinous crime that
every culture and society frowns at. Some
countries like Cuba and Saudi Arabia equate it
to murder.
Many rapes are facilitated by drugs, alcohol
and other substances and the victims can be
incapacitated and thus unable to consent
because of the drugs or alcohol. Rape victims
suffer physical and mental trauma which
may include humiliation, embarrassment,
and stigmatisation which sometimes leads to
depression and eventually death.
Insecurity: Media giving

It is very unfortunate that rape has become

has affirmed that Engr. Ibrahim
Shehu-Gusau remains the
president of the Athletics Federation

board led by Olamide George.
In his ruling on Wednesday July 1,
Hon. Justice A. I. Chikere said that only

had the powers to call a congress and
appoint a Technical Director.
The court therefore nullified the
purported suspension and subsequent
impeachment of Gusau as well as all
other actions and resolutions taken by
the Olamide George’s led AFN.
The court also reinstated Sunday
