On Monday, I got a briefing on the health situation of a 9 year old girl who was violently raped by her uncle. She needed multiple surgeries to her Clitoris. 2/2
Tuesday, a 7 year old girl was raped by her father& #39;s friend. I was also briefed on the situation of a SSS 3 Girl who was gang raped a month ago and is now pregnant. On Wednesday, a 14 year old girl complained that she has been raped severally since she was 10 by her Guardian. 3/3
On Thursday, a 6 year old girl was sodomized by her mother& #39;s business partner. Her mother is a rape survivor.
On Friday while I was trending on major platforms for ordering phantom arrests, I was busy trying to calm down a distraught mother who suspects that her husband is having sexual intercourse with her 9 year old daughter. @Aplus1312 @
In all these I have been accused of being too harsh on the alleged sex offenders. I have been told that these girls are not my daughters. That these matters are best resolved within the family. There is also the issue of politics.
Some within my Party argue that my hardline attitude especially when the offender is our sympathizer will cost us votes in 2022 while the other Party accuse me of targeting their members for political gains. I plead guilty to the charge of zero tolerance.
All I ask from these critics is to put themselves in the shoes of the parents of these girls and ask themselves, if these were their daughter’s and they complained to me and I did nothing, will they commend me for job not done?
Next week, I will be inviting the Chiefs of a Community that enacted a law that effectively prevents victims of rape from seeking support from my office!!! @Above_Whispers @tutuoluwaseyi
