Legendary Nigerian singer Onyeka Onwenu has criticized the attitude of the Nigeria Police in handling cases of rape against women citing that Nigerian security agents, particularly the Nigeria Police Force, joke with the matter of rape when such reports reach them.
According to the elegant stallion, “we do have domestic violence, rape and others, but when it is reported to the police, they will simply say ‘just go and settle it’. They will even blame it on the woman by telling her, ‘eh na you cause am, na the way you dey waka provoke the man”.
She revealed this in an interview saying “I think rape has always been part of our society, and we have not given it prominence because the security agents, like the police, do not take it seriously. It is a crime against womanhood, but it is not given the attention it deserves. That is because we have not really given women their due. Nigeria has not really protected the women,”
