The Nigeria Police on Tuesday raised the
alarm over the increasing reported cases of rape and warned ladies
against falling prey to the gimmicks of their male companions.
The police said they had uncovered the tactics prospective rapists use to snare their victims.
They added that the criminal act was one
of the fastest...
growing crimes globally, hence the need to educate
Nigerians on the menace, with a view to making them stay out of trouble.
Deputy Force Police Public Relations
Officer, Mr. Abayomi Shogunle, wrote on Twitter that young girls and
ladies should be wary of the emergency calls they receive from their
male friends who feign illnesses.
The police spokesman said experience had
shown that potential rapists now feign illness to lure their girlfriends
and other female companions to their homes.
He advised that if you are not a nurse or a medical doctor, you should not honour the invitation.
The police have also enjoined parents and
guardians to be wary of child sexual molesters, especially close
acquaintances, within their neighbourhoods.
A message on the police Facebook page
stated that there had been an upsurge in cases of sexual molestation of
minors by those the Force described as “some ungodly adult males.”
It said the majority of sexual
molestations of children, especially the girl-child, happen at homes
with male domestic helps; and presumed family friends being the leading
culprits.
“Parents should guard against allowing
their daughters to sit on the laps of presumed male family members or
family friends who often take undue advantage of the child and abuse
them sexually. Caution must be exercised when placing the girl-child on
motorcycles, so that they do not sit on the bike directly facing the
rider instead of backing them,” the police advised.
