RAPE SOLDIER DISMISSAL: CORONATION OF A BANANA REPUBLIC(Opinion)

By Akinademola Emmanuel

It has been subsequently quoted that an "injustice to one is a threat to all" .Going by the the trending news of that soldier who was indicted and was not tried before the court of justice but allowed to go Scott free.

Nigeria is a developing country and this would be a dent on the image of the Army who are supposed to guard the sovereignty of a state end up perpetrating injustice .

However this would not be the first time that soldiers would use the privilege of their uniforms to manhandle civilians and abuse their rights .Are we still aware that we are not in that jackboot military era ?

The impairing of Democracy in our great country is highly disheartening. Is the voice of the people still the law? We are aware of scar or the aftermath of rape on victims but none have experienced how bad it feels on rape ,some victims even end up committing suicide.

Pigs would fly if we allow this case that should be taken with utmost profoundness to be swept under the carpet and forgetting the voice of the people .

# We want justice
#And this must be done
# we are not in a banana republic

Sexual Assault: A Menace That Must Be Put Behind Bars (EDITORIAL)

Sexual assaults have been on the rise, dating back to a decade ago; where numerous rape incidents and other immoral sexual behaviours were reported.

Findings from a National Survey carried out in 2014 on “Violence against Children in Nigeria”, confirmed one in four females reported experiencing sexual violence in childhood with approximately 70% reporting more than one incident of sexual violence. In the same study, it was found that 28.8% of females,ages 18 to 24 years experienced sexual abuse prior to age 18 of which 5.0% sought help, with only 3.5% receiving any services.
In spite of judicial deterrent, cases of sexual assault, especially rape are not declining in our society.

True to this claim is the recent rape incident which involved a 300 level female undergraduate in the department of Religious and African Studies at Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, and her assailants, members of the Nigerian Armed Forces, who were stationed at the military checkpoint at Ikare-Akoko in the State where the incident happened.

Ironically, these are the set of people who should be maintaining law and order in the society, as well as, protecting human dignity.

This shows the height of lawlessness among members of the public, not excluding law enforcement personnel.

According to the Nigerian constitution, rape is punishable with life imprisonment. But, how many rape cases have been tried in the court of law? And how many persons have been convicted of rape?

The answers to these questions will remain unanswered. A study on “Trends and Patterns of Sexual Assaults in Lagos South-Western Nigeria”carried out in 2016 showed that only 2 out of 40 cases of rape are reported, attributing this low turnout to the arduous legal requirements needed to prove the cases and the associated stigma.

History is about to repeat itself with the fresh rape case involving a female undergraduate of AAUA.

Although, report from the Nigerian Army stated that one of the suspects, identified as Lance Corporal Sunday had been arrested, no significant action against the assailants has been taken yet.

In light of this problem, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu issued an order to the army to transfer the case to the police for further investigation and ultimate prosecution of the offenders.
The reduction of sexual assaults is possible with collective efforts.

The government should work hand-in-glove with institutions, individuals and associations that are committed to preserving the human dignity.

The society has a major role to play in ensuring it provides a favourable environment which will enable victims of sexual assaults speak up and seek help without fear of harassment or stigmatisation.

In addition, prompt court actions against culprits must be put in place to discourage others from committing the crime.

FIGHT AGAINST SUCIDE AND DEPRESSION: SADAF SENSITIZES AKUNGBA COMMUNITY

By Promise Adagba

Suicide and Depression Awareness Foundation (SADAF) carried out an exercise to sensitize Akungba-Akoko society about suicide and depression on 3rd August.

The exercise which was titled: Walk against Suicide and Depression was embarked on to create awareness about the dangers of suicide and depression and how it can be prevented. Students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba (AAUA) trooped out with placards that read thus: Suicide is not the solution; Beware of Depression. In groups, they went from one place to another which included the market places in the community.

ECHO gathered that the society, especially the market women accepted and applauded the walk, being first of its kind in the community, a market woman who identified herself as Afusat said she was glad she had the opportunity of being enlightened about suicide and depression.

"We all know the rate of youths committing suicide nowadays, and it's worrisome especially in the university community where there is stress and pressure so we deem it important to do a kind of awareness against depression and suicide", said Olorunsanu Godspower, a student who participated in the walk.

Another participant, Oluwadamilola Oluwafemi, the president of the Nigerian Campus Journalist (NUCJ) AAUA Chapter opined that there is more to life than committing suicide.

“Just like the saying, ‘when there is life, there is hope’, only the living can achieve the purpose of being here on earth. One thing some people fail to know is committing suicide (killing oneself) is not only a crime against the law of the country, but a sin that we tried to let the people know.

" The aim of staging the walk is to reduce the level at which people commit suicide by orientating and providing them with information on what suicide is as it has no positive effect," said Oluwadamilola.

The State Coordinator of SADAF, Samuel Abodunrin said the walk is aimed at creating awareness about suicide and depression and also, educating people on the need to keep hope alive.

In his words, "we were able to talk to people one-on-one and some of them poured out their minds on this issue and we were able to bring back hope in them by Gods grace.

"Also, our movement was filled with speakers who could speak to motivate people out of depression, and also our different banners bear inscriptions which are enough messages to the populace to desist from committing suicide and depression."

"Feedbacks from after the walk from people who were able to reach us confirmed that our goal was achieved."

Samuel Abodunrin who is a 400 level student of mass communication department in AAUA appreciated all the participants and sponsors of the walk.
