She said, “In Nigeria, as in almost everywhere in the world, I do not think that rape cases are handled properly often times.” “What makes it worse for us in Nigeria is that in advanced countries, they have strict laws and most times, the law is enforced and justice is done.” “In Nigeria, we have laws in place but are they enforced as they should be? I don’t think so. But I am happy that there is a lot more conversation about it.” “People tend to think that rape is on the increase but I don’t think so; I think it has always been a part of our society but you are hearing a lot more about it now because people are talking about it.” “That veil of secrecy has been removed and the more we talk about it, the more we blow the whistle against the offenders.” “Eventually I think we would get it right. We need to put stronger laws in place and enforce them and justice must be done.” “When you hear about a law that castrates rapists, you may think it is extreme but when you think of the ripple effect, the damage that rape causes not just to the victims but people around them, you might want to rethink.”
