Storm As Woman Demands Release Of Husband Who Raped 7-Year-Old Daughter
Concerns have been stirred across diverse social platforms over a woman who is demanding the withdrawal of the rape case against her husband who is facing a life sentence for defiling their 7-year-old daughter.
According to Delta state command spokesman, SP. Bright Edafe, the woman filed for the case to be withdrawn because she cannot raise their children alone as the punishment for rape is life imprisonment.
However, he stated via his official X handle that the command will no longer tolerate parents of rape and defilement victims withdrawing their cases.
He said, “Guess what happened, it was the mother of the girl and the wife of the father who came begging and crying for the husband to be released because the punishment is life Imprisonment, and she cannot raise the children alone. Trust my boss, he vehemently declined that request.
“Parents at times go behind and collect money from the family of the suspects and come back with an affidavit to withdraw the case. The Command is making it clear now that offenses of rape and defilement are not compoundable and as such any form of withdrawal by either the victim or the family will not be tolerated, they may even be charged alongside the rapist.”
Some netizens reacted to the development on X.
@amuda reacted, “This is commendable. The woman should buckle up to take care of the family, a man that defile his own daughter will do worse to others.”
@MA_Dibola said, “That how people normally spoil case, they will bring complain and later start begging you that they want to withdraw.”
@He… opined, “Because she can’t raise the kids alone, and then guess what? The man will continue doing that over and over again.sigh.”
@Eleofans said, “While the culprit is facing jail term, the police should continuously check on their well being and give support when necessary.”
WEALTHY UNDERWATER LIO… asked, “How does she plan on raising the kids with such a man? I think in such situations all the man’s assets be turned to his family while he serves his term.”
