    Rapists should be castrated -Halima Abubakar declares

    Outspoken actress, Halima Abubakar has averred that the panacea to curb rape is to castrate rapists.

    She added that it is up to us to protect our society by looking out for other people’s kids and not turning a blind eye when it’s someone else involved.

    Abubakar wrote on instagram:” The more we fight against rape and injustice is the more this evil act is on the rise. Protect your environment. Protect other people’s kids. Don’t say what’s my own.So many love to say that. Cut the penis off. Rapists are menace to the society”.

    In a recent interview, the actress noted that men who jump from one woman to another are likely gay.

    Hear her:” I know so many people who are married and they are bi-sexual. I’m saying this because it is the truth and those reacting are the guilty ones. Tell me why a man will change girls at random? What exactly are they looking for if it is not a man? Nigerians don’t accept the truth because half of us are hypocrites. I Halima Abubakar am telling you that a lot of people are bi-sexual. They should save the lives of future generations by coming out, if they don’t want to come out, they should not get married”.

     

  • Rape suspect discovered on CCTV in Delta

    Rape suspect discovered on CCTV in Delta

    CCTV tape appears to show how a 30-year-old man raped an 11-year-old girl in Sapele, Delta State.

     

    The sad occurrence happened last Wednesday.

     

    Details remain vague but a source said the victim was assaulted when she went to use a convenience room, from where she came out minutes later crying and saying she had been abused by the suspect.

     

    The suspect simply identified as Jomaph was said to have denied violating the young girl and threatened to arrest her and her family members.

     

    But a CCTV camera installed by a neighbour for business allegedly exposed him in the act.

     

    Police spokeswoman Onome Onowakpoyeya confirmed the incident yesterday, noting that she was yet to get an official report on the incident.

     

     

    “The incident happened,” she said, adding, “They said, initially, the man denied, until they brought the CCTV footage and he owned up.”

     

    In Nasarawa, a primary school teacher was detained for raping his pupil in Obi Local Government Area of the state.

     

    The victim said her teacher sent her to fetch a broom in the classroom after closing hours, and followed her and forcibly defiled and caused serious injuries on her.

     

    Police spokesman Ramhan Nansel confirmed the incident.

     

     

  • Teacher sentenced to life imprisonment, for raping, impregnating pastor’s 10-year-old daughter

    Teacher sentenced to life imprisonment, for raping, impregnating pastor’s 10-year-old daughter

    A teacher, Omotayo Adanlawo, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for raping and impregnating the 10-year-old daughter of the General Overseer of his church.

    Adanlawo was jailed by an Ondo State High Court sitting in Akure presided over by Justice Samuel Bola.

    Justice Bola said Adanlawo did not give convincing evidence and testimony to prove his innocence.

    The trial judge said the victim was a “witness of truth” because of the courage and precision in her testimony.

    Adanlawo was said to have committed the offence at the victim’s house at Iju while she was alone and defiled her with a warning not to tell anyone else she would die.

    The bubble burst when the victim could not walk properly and doctor’s examination revealed that she had been raped.

    The victim was said to have revealed that it was her father’s spiritual son that was responsible for the rape.

    Adanlawo was subsequently arrested and arraigned before Justice Bola on a one-count charge of rape punishable under section 358 of the Criminal Laws of Ondo State.

    The prosecution led by a state counsel, Stella Adegoke, called five witnesses, but the defendant testified for himself.

    Adanlawo, in his statement before the police, said he was battling hernia and was not medically fit to have sexual intercourse with the girl.

    Justice Bola, in his judgement, said the prosecution proved there was penetration of the victim.

    He said the defendant gave no medical report to prove his condition as well as any evidence to suggest he was in his house as claimed on the day of the incident.

    He, therefore, sentenced Adanlawo to life imprisonment in line with Section 358 of the Criminal Laws of Ondo State.

    Anyone who falsely accuse someone of rape should be jailed- Ruggedman

    Veteran rapper, Micheal Ugochukwu Stephen a.k.a Ruggedman has averred that anyone who falsely accuse someone of rape should be jailed.

    Speaking in a chat with TheNewsGuru, he said: ”On ladies who falsely accuse men of rape, since you said falsely, it means it has been investigated and found to be false. It means she has committed an offence. First things first, we are have to let the law take its cause. Because she just broke the law, you don’t just falsely accuse people and think it’s fun. You need to know what the person will go through psychologically. It is against the law, if such a person is found guilty, she should face the full wrath of the law. It’s not just about women, it’s for everybody, both men and woman. Rape is not something you joke with. It’s not something you use to get revenge on a guy or girl who dumped you or hurt you at some time in the past. You now think because it’s trending right now, you jump on it and accuse somebody falsely”.

     

     

    Explaining how he was able to cope during the total lockdown, the ‘Baraje’ crooner said: ”With the whole pandemic and social distancing directive, I have been good. I managed to make it back to Nigeria on the 22nd of March. That was a day before the airport lockdown. I am used to self-isolation because I hardly go out that much unless I have to. If it’s a meeting I really don’t have to be at, my manager or somebody in the management will go for it. I am always at home, if I don’t have anywhere serious to go to. I always make sure I have everything I need in the house, especially in my room. I can count how many minute I spend in my living room. I am in my bed room most of time except, If I have a guest, I can go out. I am used to staying at home, I won’t call myself an introvert. I am not really affected by the stay at home order”.
