Rise in rape, domestic violence cases worry Anambra stakeholders
By Adeleye Kunle
Stakeholders in Anambra State have decried the rising cases of rape, domestic and gender-based violence in the State.
This is following recent cases of gender-based violence in the State, some of which involved minors, while others resulted in deaths.
Early in the week, the story broke of the defiling of a 13-year-old girl by four men in Nkpor, near the commercial city of Onitsha. The men, who were described as street urchins, were said to have had an altercation with a man in the neighbourhood, who condemned most of their atrocious acts in the area, which included drug abuse, stealing and molestation of young girls.
The men instead of showing remorse over the matter took offence about the temerity of the man in trying to caution them, and decided to visit evil on the man’s daughter, for daring to caution them. The names were given as Sunday, Emelie, Chiedu and Nwa awọ.
