75% Of Rape Cases I Have Handled Involve Religious Leaders – Foluke Daramola-Salako

Foluke Daramola has revealed that 75 percent of the perpetrators of the rape cases handled by her NGO are religious leaders.

The actress who is also the Founder of Passion Against Rape and Abuse Africa, PARAA said this in an Instagram Live discussion with Funmi Iyanda on Friday.

“75% of the cases I have on my table are from religious leaders, and a lot of time, we don’t get to the end of it, because when we start, the family would come and tell us we should leave the religious leader to God.”

Addressing the common ideology that indecent dressing is the cause for the rampant cases of rape in Nigeria; she said,

“Nothing attracts rape, it is a sign of weakness. Why do they rape minors, teenagers, and even old women, is that also about indecent dressing?”

“You hardly find rape cases against young women except for sexual assaults and abuse in workplaces, we find it mostly amongst kids, teenagers, and elderly women, how come you are now telling me it is indecent dressing? And we are not animals.”
