Evans Ufeli, a human rights lawyer, made this revelation yesterday in Lagos.

He said that despite an overwhelming reported cases of sexual assaults, Nigeria has recorded only 18 rape convictions in its legal history. :(

His words:-

“The Nigerian criminal code recommends life imprisonment for rape convicts and 14 years for attempt rape, but only 18 people have ever been convicted in Nigeria.

Sexual abuse matters in law courts are sometimes frustrated by the police and public prosecutors.”.
