In Five Months, 717 Rape Case Recorded, 799 Suspects Arrested In Nigeria -IGP by Shehuyinka: 4:52pm On Jun 15, 2020
MOHAMMED Adamu, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) on Monday disclosed that a total of 717 rape incidents were recorded in the country and 799 suspects have been arrested for the crimes between January and May, 2020.

While addressing journalists after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Adamu said 632 of such cases have been conclusively investigated and charged to court within the period.

The IGP in company of Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, and Dame Pauline Tallen, Minister Women Affairs Development, also said 52 cases are still under investigation adding that the surge in rape cases and gender-based violence in Nigeria were due to the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.

Adamu also added that the police and other security agencies and other non-governmental organisations have been collaborating to ensure that the rising cases of rape and gender based violence are dealt with.

He called on every Nigerian to immediately report to law enforcement agencies on any case of rape or gender based violence noting that keeping it without reporting it will give room for the perpetrators to continue to commit the offenses.

”It is a very wicked offense, it is very serious offense, it is very wicked of an individual to engage in rape or defilement,” the IGP said.

“And there are a lot of causes, some are doing it for ritual purposes, some are doing it because they are within the family and they see the victims and have the urge to go into it and do it. But such people should not be allowed to go Scot free.”‘

He assured that the government is committed to curtail the surge, adding that the police is ready to partner with every stakeholder both at national level and within the sub-region, specifically organizations that are involved in rape cases.
