Iretiola Doyle,Nollywood actress, has expressed her disgust as regards how trivial rape cases in are being treated in Nigeria.Doyle said rapists should be severely punished .
according to PUNCH:
“In Nigeria, as in almost everywhere in the world, I do not think that rape cases are handled properly often times. What makes it worse for us in Nigeria is that in advanced countries, they have strict laws and most times, the law is enforced and justice is done. In Nigeria, we have laws in place but are they enforced as they should be? I don’t think so. But I am happy that there is a lot more conversation about it. People tend to think that rape is on the increase but I don’t think so; I think it has always been a part of our society but you are hearing a lot more about it now because people are talking about it.
The management of the University of Ibadan (UI) Tuesday evening shutdown the institution indefinitely and ordered the students to vacate the campus with immediate effect.
This development came after students of the institution staged a protest over management’s victimization of a student who took part in a recent protest by the students due to lack of insufficient power and water supply in the school.
A circular issued by the Registrar of the school, Dr O.I. Olukoya, Tuesday evening said the management, in order to safeguard lives and properties had decided that the school should be shut indefinitely and that students should vacate the campus immediately.
The circular titled “Disturbance of peace and threat to lives and property on campus by some students of the University of Ibadan and other students” ask students to comply with the directive till further notice.
