It's sad that this is a world where things are not perfect but isn't that why we have laws; to correct the ills in society? I read today on a blog about a filmmaker who said that "nonviolent rape" should be legalized and that the reason rapists were raping girls was because they were sexually frustrated and that girls should accept it and even prepare themselves for it by carrying condoms and cooperating with their rapists. In fact it is clear that civilization is beyond running water and having flushable toilets, a lot of minds are still in a dark place. Before you join the number of people condemning him, think of how you shame victims of rape by suggesting that somehow they did something to provoke the animal instinct in the rapist.
The dust hasn't settled yet on the case of Busola Dakolo and Biodun Fatoyinbo where an Abuja high court struck out the case and called an abuse of court processes and said it was statue barred. They were irregularities as cited by the Dakolos even before the case began as the case was moved to Abuja where Biodun Fatoyinbo is domiciled and has influence instead of Lagos where the complaint was initially filed. Lawyers said the case was dismissed for lack of evidence but the question is do you need evidence to convict a criminal when its not as if someone would have the frame of to record a crime being committed against him\her. The law says you should be able to prove a case beyond reasonable doubt so on the strength of the argument, couldn't the case have been proven?
Biodun Fatoyinbo you may have escaped human justice but there is one whose justice you can't escape and that is God. He clearly said in his word that though hand join in hand, the wicked can never go unpunished. The christian community is sick. Yes, the church is sick. You would keep finding people who justify evil with the word of God. CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria) called it a victory for Christianity. No CAN, it is not a victory for Christianity, it is not even a victory for Biodun Fatoyinbo. The Bible clearly tells us that we should not marvel for even Satan has transformed into an angel of light and his ministers as angels of righteousness, their end will be what their work deserves.
Finally to the people shaming the victim, you are best classified as educated illiterates. You don't even know your left from your right yet you carry a certificate. Someone said we have more important issues in this country, why should we then be concerned about someone who was raped? It is because we do not deal with things like this in this country that is why our leaders are corrupt since we have no moral right to correct them. The truth will surely prevail.
