Aisha Buhari Calls For The Enforcement Of Rape Laws In Nigeria

Wife of President Buhari, Aisha Buhari has called for the enforcement of rape laws in Nigeria. Mrs Buhari made the call at a meeting she had with Ministry of Women Affairs, UNICEF and National Population Commission, led by the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Dr Ezekiel Oyemomi at the state house Abuja yesterday September 14th.

“We are aware of the national law on rape passed this year on May 25 (Prohibition Act 2015) which states imprisonment ranging from 12 to 20 years. I advocate for the enforcement of this law at all levels. Unfortunately, children are the most vulnerable, being exploited at different stages of their lives. A number of cases on violence against women and children are being reported on daily basis with the most alarming one of those happening in higher institutions of leaning. These include sexual harassment and assaults of female students by lecturers as a result of lack of laws and appropriate actions against the perpetrators,” she said.

I totally support this. I just hope the punishment gets metted out to everyone though and not just the lower class. What are your thoughts? Let's hear them!

A suspected drug trafficker has died at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja after the cocaine capsules he swallowed burst in his stomach. The deceased has been identified as Obiefuna Ndulue from Anambra State.

He slumped at the departure hall of the airport and was rushed to the hospital where 55 wraps of cocaine weighing 1.2 kilogrammes were found in his stomach.

I still don't understand why people still ingest drugs though knowing the implications of it. Here's another life gone with the wind just like that and I bet you someone else will either be caught in the same act again pretty soon. Sad!
