She further narrated how she was raped by her tenant when she was 17.

He said”75% of the cases I have on my table are from religious leaders and most times we don’t get to the end of it.

This is because when we start investigating the cases, the family would come and tell us we should leave the religious leader to God.”

She noted that most victims are usually underage, or elder women who were not indecently dressed.

She added, “You hardly find rape cases against young women except for sexual assaults and abuse in workplaces, we find it mostly amongst children, teenagers, and elderly women, how come you are now telling me it is indecent dressing?
