The mother, identified simply as Anthonia, explained that she was not in the house when the perpetrators raped her daughter. “Immediately I received the call, I became so mad. I headed for the hospital where my daughter was rushed to. When I got there, I was told she suffered ‘vaginal trauma’. The underneath of her clitoris was bruised and she had a deep tear that made her bleed severely,” Anthonia explained, painting a graphic picture of the cruel assault.

Epidemic Really

Its no longer covid-19 but nau rape. Una sha wan trend. I av tired for these country. Same pattern as covid 19 no pictures of the victim or perpetrator. I hail Naija. All of a sudden rape every where everyday.

Women are not safe anymore o! God what is happening?

It's a very Big lie, who is that? at where?

Jungle justice must be empowered in every society from now on. We don't really have to wait for these tyrants who don't give a f**k about our dear lives to give us unpleasant orders

Parents should teach their boys self discipline, our girls need not be the victims.

What's happening in Nigeria now wit rape classes upandan na😮

Maybe she was dressed indecently

Oran l'eyi o , God help us !

Andy_Biii This is getting scaryyyyyyyyyyyyy. The Government isn't doing anything. Our girls and women aren't safe anymore!

I hope this is not the new style of money ritual now

Whoever wrote this post is painfully ignorant...epidemic? Soo it hasn't been happening at a high rate before now or what!!

Lagos, Kaduna, jIGAWA, some insane humans. Let the Law do its work.

I don't know why the punishment for rape isn't yet decided🤔

Who is demonizing my fellow citizens We need to stop the evil

Please Punch Newspaper can you people help this generation and stop spreading this news of rapping everywhere you go on social media This rape issue is too dirty to hear please

I think this is another way of making money because issue is rising every day may God Almighty help us o

I don tire for this matter Rape everywhere, people are possessed!

Pandemic plus epidemic is what

what is the meaning of this

NGRSenate HouseNGR NigeriaGov FMHDSD NGRPresident HQNigerianArmy PoliceNG cenbank officialEFCC please, we shouldn't pass castration into law for the rapists. They will still become vagabonds in the society which will be more dangerous.solution is deathpenalty straight.

This is bad Haba

The saga continues...

The law of putting any rapists in life sentence without any future pardon should be granted by our senators and reps.... We didn't sent them their to be granting buhari loans only. They should at least be useful for Nigerians once

What is this rape issue all around Nigeria. They deserve death but if death is pass into law for rapist,many innocent people will die caus Nigeria police seems andicap when it comes to getting to the truth of a matter. They will rather blame you to stop the investigation...

At this point I will suggest our govt legalize prostitution abi what can we say again to stop all these beasts out there. Everyday new story of rape case. amtired

This rape issue is now getting out of hand oo

The up surge of rape in Nigeria is largely due to impunity

Welcome sir Gud job am sure u will get d perpetrators

I hate rapist

I said I don't want to see a news like this anymore please

We cannot let our campaign against rape be limited to social media platforms. We need to organize a nationwide campaign in local languages, those that are not educated needs to know the statistics too, they need to know the need not to leave their children carelesssly

After locked down some people comes with sexual desire because it was been a while....I think Government should provide free prostitutes for them To reduce the rate of rapist kn our country

It's no longer ladies underwears, it's rapings and killings. This is beginning to look like a ritual process to me. I say again.. SayNoToRapist

Is this some mind of money ritual now or what 😱😱😫😫😫😢😢😢

SayNoToRape

By hanging

This is really unfortunate! Rape is extremely criminal. StopRapingWomen StopRaping

The rapist must be killed...

Una wan use media to change Nigeria to Indian, Abeg , this Rape case should not b politicize . Everyday rape , rape , rape ,

It seems the absence of our sisters that sell body contact for a living has brought about increase in rape. One of the consequences of lockdown. There's however, no justification for rape. I condemn it and feel rapist should be sentenced to death by starvation.

Till we start treating this rapist as the criminals that they are this wont stop. We want to know what has been done to those who have been caugth. What punishments were they givn. Once they parade them, thats the end. Our women are fast becoming an endangered species. God forbid

Govt should passed it to law any rapist found will be killed simple ...the rapist will stop it

Rape pandemic

This inhuman act continues because there seems to be no punishment for it.

Did I just read this

What is wrong with this generation? The devil has assigned them another work

Rape again

One day One raped Many murdered Nigeria which way? 😟

Seeing from another Angle,,, girl child should Neva b left alone in d house, cos its becoming rampant.. Meaning does rape issue might b for retuals.. U remember badoo.. Picking pples pant?... So all our security agent should join hands and put dis bastards where dey belong

The high rate of rape has bee predicted due to the partial lockdown

I'm just weak.

Wait.. I don't understand. Why's rape gaining more ground all of a sudden? What entered men?

A rapist equals a murderer.

They should rust in jail

What is the meaning of all this rubbish going on in Nigeria?

What is this! PoliceNG nassnigeria

Parenting and education are first responsible for the development of young adult. Failure of these two to properly beam the light and show their male children the way to go, have led us to this mess we are in today.

In Nigeria once something starts, people will make it trend.

If I was the president of this nation. Anybody caught rape between age of 1-10 years is death sentence. 11-17 is 25 years in prison. 18- 60 is 15 years in prison while 61- upward is 20 years in prison.

The sudden increase of sexual abuse may be as a result of “blood currency” or “Blood money” An herbalist May be deceiving greedy teenagers to do this I would refer back to this tweet, when one of them is caught !

I feel like this stay at home order has to do with this increment in rape cases because wtf?!!!

What’s happening?

The world is coming to an end

How can this possibly be curtalied when the law is weak and non protective of the common, with little or no penality for offenders. Stiffer penalty should enshrined holistically, and states having individual penal laws.

Another one

Alright

Nah today una dey hear such urgly incident... make una no dey deceive una papa wey house police

What in the world!!

Sicking!

What is actually going on?

The eye is the mirror of the heart.

Stop calling them 'men'... They are ANIMALS!!!!!

Wow

jarex2_official It didn't just start...it is just more visible because of social media attention. I use to feel people are afraid of sexual transmissible disease hence hopeful this act will die down. Alas it is getting worsen by the day. We need stiffer measures.

May those four men never know peace in their life

Omg, WTH is going on in this country?

If there are CCTV cameras everywhere, drones and satellites cameras, security agencies would be able to track these criminals... but billion are been borrowed and nobody feels concerned about that, just to renovate that's all...

This is disheartening!!!

Reporting the crime is now the in thing... No rape epidemic anywhere.

So many evil enveloping the world, why ? The perpetrators of this evil act shouldn't go scot free.

There should be a strict penalty

Rape epidemic indeed

Is rape a symptom of covid 19 why so rampade now

Sick men...i hope they are found and prosecuted.

There's should be a strick penalty

I really dont understand anyone...are these guys normal? raping a 12yr old girl!...just send them back to their maker.

This shit is getting too much, it's high time FG place a severe punishment on the rape case. Girl lives matter

I hope they are already in custody

Is it that this rape trend is getting worse of that we are beginning the take more note of it now. This is quite worrisome. Women are becoming endangered species in this country.

Nigeria problem began the day we started using the word “Na dem sabi, he no concern me”

Please don't act as if you are not aware that one in every five girls in Nigeria have been sexually raped and one in every three girls have been sexually harassed so what are you talking about that we don't know before.

I'm starting to think these are coordinated events. The evil system of this world.

I think the government have to take serious action about this; is becoming a big problem

Kinni gbogbo radarada yii gan

And they say castration shouldn't be the price for it... Women, lts time to learn lots of self-defence hacks. Tired already.

Matters arising.. rapeepidemic Wetin beings no go hear inside 2020 😕

The institution is very weak. There's no stiffer penalty for rape offenders. These things are just spilling out control.

We have a BIG problem 💔💔💔

Castration method is the solution in this country once the offender found guilty at end of investigation.

WTF is wrong with Nigeria? I don't think this animals are doing it for the pleasure, there's definitely something behind this rape pandemic...

I can see,' Season of Rape '

'Rape epidemic' Punch, really?!!

What is this country turning to, Woman be truthful in relationships please stop giving birth to bastards. How can 4men rape 12years old girl.

Is like this month is month of rape😢😢

I feel this rape stuff has some kinda rituals in it

This 'epidemic ' as you call it, is the fallout of a society that lack the ability to dish out consequences for wrong doing. How many have been tried and convicted? As such there are not deterants and rapist continue to rape with impunity.

Your lawmakers at state and federal levels are yet to do the needful and it's so so sad.

😢😢😢

What's up with the rape epidemic ravaging the country we' be not conquered coronavirus na

I urge you if you're a lady and you happen to be alone at home, do not open for anybody and lock the house fully with all locks,its now a targeted assault. 😰😰😰. StopRapingWomen StopKillingWomen StopRaping. All the perpetrators of these crimes, hell will be your share. Ameen

Abeg what's happening in Nigeria?

😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

So it's a thing now or what cuz I don't understand, them plan am or this month is a rape month for some people village or what!?

This article should be properly edited. You mask the victim's name with blessing and later mention her name. Going by the details, the rapist clearly live within that area. It's time to use technology to battle this thing

Omo this getting critically serious

Those People Should be jailed

Nawa o.

I'll follow everyone that likes my comment and while I follow you make sure you follow back to avoid unfollow

This is becoming too abnormal

punchnewspaper thanks for correcting atikuabubarka saying rape is pandemic instead of epidemic.

Those CRIMINALS, who and what will they blame this their action on. A sign of end-time. Sigh

E don enter Lagos? We are finished.

Nigeria dun dey turn India oo

There's no epidemic here... It's getting reported now more than it ever was, and being acknowledged way more than it ever did, just like it should have. This narrative is misleading.

Rape everywhere.. It's high-time we ladies get ready to defend ourselves,this shit is dishearten,our government ain't even saying much abt dis, It's high-time we kick their balls and get pepper spray handy...we won't rest until we get justice.. SAY NO TO RAPE

💔💔 the fact that horrible things like this continue to happen in our society is really disturbing. This men are evil, and I pray they are exposed, and get the full wrath of the law. I pray for healing for that young girl and her family.

Just open school and crime rate will reduce!🤷‍♂

Epidemic?! Is that what you call it?! Is that what it is?! Haven't newspapers been hiding reports and are only posting now cos it would give them traffic?! Y'ALL HAVE FAILED in creating awareness for years and reporting rape only when it trends.

Train your child, you refused. Now they've turned into monsters and killers. Let's start taking responsibility and stop using children to fight or settle scores with our EXs. We need a sane world!

Even male animals seek consent from female ones before sex. What is exactly happening to male dignity. Govt should act very fast by pronouncing stiff penalty to offenders

This is a result of limited prostitution I guess. People rape because they didn’t see someone who will satisfy their feelings when they have the urge 😜

Someone somewhere is trying to distract the government, its no longer normal

Rape cases are very high in the country, many ladies are just silent about it. Life imprisonment will be a good punishment for any rapist.

Until we start castrating rapists, they'll never stop, we need to use one as a scapegoat and send others a message. Enough of arresting and charging them to court, CASTRATE them😒😒. Let's stop having soft spot for them

Chai....😪😢

We no go hear word again.....

Just like that... Nigeria has become another India.

Wat a woe

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pls pass a law that castrate rape offenders

DeathSentenceForRapist.

There’s no such thing as a rape pandemic

Something is just ain't Right somewhere, this is getting beyond my understanding reason why this rape issue is happening almost like everyday.

Until FG have a stiff punishment for rapers, the rapers will continue what they do.

What is all this nonsense?
