Between Theft And Rape

to clarify an earlier statement concerning an allegation against Abuja policemen and the rape of some
women in Abuja. Recall that he said it is a wrong allegation because rape is taking away someone’s
dignity which in this case, “Ashawo no get self-pride and dignity” so the case should be called theft
‘because they sell a merchandise’ and not rape. After the public’s backlash, he explained that he “only
tried to open up another perspective to the crime they committed.”
