About 80 cases of rape was reported in Anambra State during the lockdown, the punch reports

This was disclosed by Mrs Nkechi Anazodo, the Director of Child welfare services in the State Ministry of Women Affairs on Monday.

she said, “Sexual violence has become the order of the day, especially during this period of lockdown.

“The most worrisome is that some fathers raped their daughters more during the lockdown. In most cases, fathers who rape their daughters threaten to kill them if they report.

“The problem, therefore, is that many people don’t report these cases because they feel that the victim might be stigmatised.

she has also stated the need for a state wide campaign in the 21 local government areas of the state.

”that is why we are going round the 21 local government areas of the state to create awareness of this problem”

Where are the Wives when Husbands rape the Daughters?
What Relationships existed between Father and Daughter before Lockdown?
A few isolated incidents cannot lead to such a generalisation.

Silly questions when you should be blaming the rapist? What type of father/daughter relationship would justify raping your child? You’re more focused on blaming everyone but the rapist. Instead of your faux concern about generalizations, ask yourself why you’re a rape apologist.

What generalization are you talking about exactly? The article does not say all fathers in Anambra rape their daughters. The articles says in Anambra, there’s been on record 80 cases of father- daughter rape. So please Mr Iwu, kindly explain the generalization you are so concerned about. And please, why have you refused to question the offenders I.e the fathers in question? Instead you have asked about the role of the wives and inquired about the relationship btw the father and daughter , as if this abomination would be ok in a specific kind of father- daughter relationship. Hian…..

You must be a rapist for this rubbish comment you have made. There is no justification for raping a child. Are you actually stupid

What relationship existed between father and daughter before lockdown?!?!A parent and child relationship. Your reaction to this is loud as a rape apologist if not a rapist. Go mend whatever mental issues have before having any children or being involved with women. You are a disgrace

This act of incest is aberrant to our culture, devilish and inhumane. Perhaps the next level will be mothers rapping their sons. What a tragedy! Are we not really diminishing from being human to beasts?

Offensive and absurd!!! The fathers engage in such an abominable and shameful act must have lost their rationality and conscience. Certainly they must be possessed by demon for them to commit such act.

We cannot blame demons when there are human beings who are responsible. We need to nip this evil in the bud and punish all these evil doers strongly and appropriately for their actions. Too many are silent,aiding and abetting this evil ,while innocent helpless ones continue to be abhorrently molested! Stop looking the other way! The building is on fire! We need to rise up,speak and act!

The article is very specific – it simply states the number of father-daughter rape cases reported in Anambra during the lockdown. Your outburst would have been justified if the article read “Anambra men raped their daughters during lock down.”

There should be community law to deal with this matter. Rapist should be made to have a date with women to explain their action. The law should empower women to review the case and charge the rapist to court after dealing with him.

I dont think God will forgive a man who rapes his daughter and so society shouldn’t too. Anyone found should be judged expediently. I.e jailed wit hard labor.

Terrible!!!
