False Rape Allegation Should Also Be Punishable (opinion) by Kalatium(m): 5:10pm On Jul 11, 2020
With the current rise in cases of rape in Nigeria, it calls for the ammendment of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Anytime i hear the news i feel tragic, owing to the fact that a randy rascal will commit such atrocity to another human just for instant gratification.

Some suggest that castration is the best solution to curb the menace(the Governor Nasiru Ahmad El-Rufai has agreed to this). If this will eliminate rape cases so be it.

However, i have an issue with those who falsely accuse men of rape. I have seen it over and over where ladies cook up stories just to get back on an ex after a sour relationship.

I think something needs to be done to these perpetrators. They need to serve jail terms for misleading others. I know of a lady that frame an Ex for rape only for it to be discovered that she lied and nothing was done to her. This will give her the audacity to try it on another or encourage someone to do it. If the guy had not been lucky he will be in prison for what he never did.

While i was on Nairaland i saw a thread where guys narrate stories of how they were falsely Accused of rape.

This is why Nigerian constitution will have to be reviewed and amended

and it should be the same purnishment as rape itself.

First, you failed to define what "false accusation" means to you when it comes to rape issues.

Technically, false accusation can be established only in few situations such as having other witnesses(which is unlikely), the accuser change their story, or their is a record of the encounter e.g videos and chats.

If an accuser knows that changing their story will land them in jail, they will never do it. They will stick to their gun and the accused will suffer

Note, a suspect being discharged for lack of evidence is not the same as a "false allegation.

Also, false allegation is not a crime in other cases.
Accuse someone of being a thief, murderer and kidnapper and the worst that happens is a civil suit followed by fines but no jail terms.
We cannot change the principle of law just to accommodate a different crime.

To quote a legal opinion:

"In criminal defamation, the law seeks to prevent a situation in which defamation assumes a tendency to arouse angry passion, provoke revenge and set the society ablaze in a way that public peace is endangered."

In other words, unless your "false allegation" case can actually set the society ablaze, it is entirely a civil matter.

Any one who is terrified of "false allegations" should not take risk.
Stop inviting or sleeping with random strangers and if you must, document everything.
What about those accused by people they know?
Well, life is full of risks, by mere participation we agree to the unknown risks.

Also, avoid asymmetric relationships where you hold all the powers, some people who feel oppressed can choose to fight dirty. Someone with healthy self-esteem is unlikely to use underhanded tactics.
Bad things do happen to good people and this isn't particularly a revelation to any adult. Some people get lynched for walking at the wrong time. Of course, we can stop the lynchings but we can't stop the allegations.

Having said this, "false allegations" will be a very small percentage as it takes high level of psychopathy to maintain
the consistent lie to inflict pain.

In the Nigerian context, rape is one of the easiest crimes to get away with because it is very difficult to get evidence for a conviction. So the overwhelming majority of the few successful prosecutions are those between strangers, minors and those based on self-confessions.

And to the women out there, stay safe, and avoid risky encounters.

Watch the things you feed your mind with.

Porn, nude pictures, sexual scenes and lyrics.

Fill your mind with the word of God and see how easy it is to live a holy life...

The scripture says...

Your words have I kept in my heart..so that I won't sin against you...

Do you have Jesus? Are you having doubts about your soul and eternity?

Seek him. He will reveal himself to you.

Don't delay. We don't know when, where or how we will exit this world...

Come to Jesus. Come to life.

God bless you.

There's no difference between a Rapist and someone who falsely accuses someone else of rape.

Similar punishment should be meted out to both of them equally.

Wait oh... those girls who falsely accuse people of rape, there’s nothing to gain; not even money... is it witchcraft that’s doing you?
But to be frank, there shouldn’t be any punishment for false accusers, because some might be true, but without the right evidence they become fruitless accusations...
Some girls accuse people as payback for a failed relationship to get back at the guy, especially when he’s started making money. My own advise is that if u must Bleep and u no want any strings, at least give her 3k to fix her nails.
