Otunba Runsewe Advocates Shocking Native Solutions To Rape, Other Vices

Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), says that adopting native solutions’ will go a long way in curbing rape cases and other vices.

Runsewe made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.

He said that anybody found guilty of vices such as rape, advance fee fraud and other related crimes should be taken to his or her family house to dance by the village square.

“We have to use local and native approach to tackle issues of rape, advance fee fraud and other vices.

“Many of our people go abroad, come back and give us bad name because of their crimes, yet they come back to celebrate and promote these vices.

“So, what I think we should do from now is that once somebody commits a crime, the person should be taken close to the family house. Let them dance by the village square.

“I’m telling you that you will be shocked that you won’t get anyone committing crimes,” Runsewe said of the efficacy of the native solutions to crimes such as rape.

Runsewe said that the major reason why crimes had continued was that somebody that committed crime would get bail from one top person in society.

“So, let us put it this way: both the person that committed the crime and the man standing for his bail should go to jail. You will see that nobody will go again.

“Once they know that they can’t buy off the security agents on issues like these, I can assure you that a lot of changes is around the corner,” Runsewe stated. (NAN)
