Rape is a state, not a household situation in Nigeria. That is what the police advised me once I visited the Household Help Unit constructing at Sango Ota Space Police Command in Ogun State, Friday, October 16, this yr.
Astray, I do know that is true. However, in Nigeria with about 80million of the estimated 203million individuals residing under the poverty line and all kinds of cultures and customs, how many individuals know this? Your guess is pretty much as good as mine.
Fact is that rapists appear to be on rampage throughout states in our beloved nation and the police are choked-up, ill-equipped, underfunded, and poorly motivated by the federal authorities to deal with rape, defilement, little one abuses, sexual violence, headlong.
In Ogun state for example, June this yr, Dapo Abiodun, governor of the state advised the world that his state shall be ruthless with rape instances.
Abiodun dropped this cherry information when Bamidele Abiodun, his spouse led an anti-sexual and gender-based rally led to his workplace at Oke Mosan in Abeokuta, Ogun state.
The governor assured that instances associated to violence and rape might be fast-tracked by public prosecution workforce and offenders delivered to e-book.
5 months down the road, Monday Agbonikan, an assistant commissioner of police and commander for sango ota police command with permission, assist and approval from Edward Awolowo Ajogun, the state police commissioner, has erected a household assist unit constructing for the police in his command.
The constructing, from my findings is about 80% % practical and Bamidele Abiodun, spouse of Dapo Dapo Abiodun, governor of the state. Kabiyesi of Sango Ota, in addition to the chairman of Ado-Ota native authorities space, have been supportive of the venture.
It is because of be formally commissioned October this yr, whilst work has commenced on the intense enterprise by the police of cleansing up Sango Ota of rapists and different criminals.
Additionally talking, Yemisi Alli-Yaunaduo, officer-in-charge mentioned within the final one month, a person, who raped a 6-year-old woman and the daddy of the woman tried to bury the case underneath the guise of being a household situation, is now cooling his ft at one of many correctional facilities within the state.
Justice was additionally introduced of bear in some rape instances the place victims have been traced to Ijebu Ode, Akute, Ifo, Lagos, and so on.
The Sango police command FSU, has a well-equipped interrogation room, reception, workplaces, conveniences, marked toys, and so on.
Fact is that the law enforcement officials connected to the unit are spending their cash for logistics and welfare for the victims and the suspects for now. So, non-governmental organizations in addition to different public spirited people ought to come to assistance from the police at Sango Ota command with autos, monetary and different helps to do the job.
