Don’t Sweep Kogi Commissioner’s Rape Case Under Carpet – TUC cried out

By Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Kogi State Chairman Of Trade Union Congress, (TUC) Comrade Ranti Ojo on Thursday in Lokoja cried out to the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu not sweep under the carpet the rape case allegedly leveled against the Kogi State commissioner for Water Resources, Hon. Abdumumini Danga.

Comrade Ranti Ojo made the call on Thursday during a peaceful protest in Lokoja tagged ‘say no to rape and all forms of gender based violence’.

He lamented that the Nigerian Police under the leadership of Mohammed Adamu has failed to tell the nation the outcome of their investigations five months after the former Miss Kogi made the allegations of rape that drew public condemnation from the public.

The chairman who described rape as a grievous offence and condemn-able in it entirety said no matter how highly placed the culprit could be in the society and is found guilty of the alleged offence, he must be punished in accordance to the law.

“We are here to lend our voices against rape in Kogi State and Nigeria in general. Collectively, we must stop rape as it does not speak well of humanity and it was a sin against God.” He added.

” I’m calling on the government and institutions that are saddled with the responsibility to implement stiffer punishment against Culprits that are involved in rape no matter their status in the society.”

” In Kogi State, it was alleged that the commissioner for water resources Hon. Abdumumini Danga raped a lady. Up till this moment, we have been kept in the dark. Let me make this passionate appeal to the inspector general of Police Muhammed Adamu.

Camrade Ojo stressed that “the case must not be swept under the bridge or water. The IGP must investigate the case and come out with the outcome. If the commissioner is found wanting, he must face the full wrath of the law”.

The Executive Director, Conscience for Human Right and Conflict Resolution, Idris Miliki said “Rape and assault perpetrated by anybody is a criminal offence under the Nigeria Law and should not be accepted.

Earlier, the chairperson Women Commission of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Kogi State chapter, Mrs Margret Bose Adeika appealed to the federal government to enact a law that will put rapists in jail for thirty years.
