Activists advocating for the right of women and girls in Nigeria have indicted Nigeria's law enforcement agencies for complicity in the growing number of rape cases against women in the country.
Betty Abah, Executive Director of CEE HOPE, a girl-child rights and development non-profit organisation in Lagos, told SaharaReporters on Monday that perpetrators of rape take advantage of the weakness in law enforcement to get away with their crimes. She said,"People everywhere in the world have the tendency to commit crime if they are left unchecked but what makes the differences is the effectiveness of laws.
"Why rape has continued to be a reoccurring decimal in Nigeria is because of the laxity in the law enforcement of laws. We have all sorts of laws to deter people from committing rape and other crimes but those same criminals are aware of the weaknesses of law enforcement in Nigeria so they take advantage of it.
"What deters people in all parts of the world is that they know that there will be punishment and consequences for action but in Nigeria people believe they can always get away by bribing the police so much that potential victims are worried about going to court because in the end, either justice will not be served or it is delayed that it doesn't make any sense and at the end of the day, the victim may become an objects of mockery.
What about our music? Most of our secular music objectify women as regards sex.
Who's gonna start this conversation? All our lawmakers are just silent on this very topic and police brutality. The people need responsible legislations not debates on 2 months free electricity.femigbaja some of us still believe we can still get the best from our legislators.
Law enforcement in Nigeria enable rape culture of silence, they arrest and implicate eye witnesses and informants, so purple who know things end up keeping quiet and staying out of it. That's law enforcement for you.
