The National Publicity Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr Kunle Edun, on Sunday, called for a review of the Nigerian Criminal Laws to check the increase in cases of rape in the country. News of her rape and murder resulted in widespread criticisms in the country, with many calling for justice for the deceased. The spokesperson said the criminal laws were insufficient to address the increasing rate of rape and other sex offences in Nigeria. “All sex offenders must be put on parole supervision for at least 10 years, after serving their sentences. “Also, sex offenders must not be allowed to work in schools, hospitals, charity organisations or any social institution,” he suggested.
