Smh

Anti-conji laws should be enshrined into our constitution!

Konji na bastard that's why I joined the vaseline crew

Why charge him under the criminal code? Why not charge him with statutory rape under the child's right law and send him away for life. Raping anyone is grievous but raping your own child is just unthinkable. I imagine that she will be scarred psychologically for life. The very person who was supposed to protect her most likely took away her innocence.


.......and besides, where is the mother of d girl in this sorry case?
