With the rising cases of rape across the country, what we need to do is to put in place stiffer penalties in Nigeria’s criminal and penal code that will serve as deterrent to perpetrators involved in the act. 

We stand together should to shoulder on this. We have to save our future, and these girls and women are the future of this nation" He wrote
