On sexual assault of minors

Published by

There is a kind of wickedness going on in Nigeria today. The law-enforcement agents are battling with it. To win the war, the agents need the cooperation of the judiciary.

A new trend which was not known before is now happening. Is it because there are many more journalists nowadays than before that there are unhealthy news about the society than before?

Unfortunately the wickedness is directed against female children. Adult men having sexual intercourse with underaged.This is much different from homosexual practices which are also not acceptable.

One may think that such wickedness was not the case before. It goes to the extent of  fathers impregnating their own daughters. What could cause this type of behaviour?

The new police pay package

How can a father be so callous to have sex with his two-year-old girl? What does he want? The situation is becoming very alarming.

These are cases which require capital punishment in order to eradicate them from  the society. The earlier the judiciary looks at this matter, the better for Nigeria. Many  cases that require capital punishment are springing up daily. The  judiciary should wake up and perform its duty.

Do we think that God will be happy with a situation which will bring other nations to wage war against us? Our politicians, in particular, should beware. Let us all who are parents also beware.

When one looks at Genesis 15:16, one will see that our God only keeps quiet watching our behaviour. Our iniquity may not be ripe enough for Him to strike us.
