EVERYONE who heard his confession on Tuesday, after he was arrested
by the Police in Enugu while on a failed rape mission, agreed that it
was a major breakthrough in the fight against the rape of old women in
Opi Town, Nsukka Local Council of Enugu State.
For some time now,
the peaceful town has been on the negative side of the news following
the activities of young boys whose ages range between 18 and 22 years,
who waylay and rape old women.
Shamefully, most of the old women and widows being raped are grandmothers as well as those old enough to be their mothers.
A committee
of the House led by Nze Michael Onyeze was then set up to uncover the
remote causes of the crime as well as make recommendations on how to
check it.
The Onyeze Committee made far-reaching decisions,
including establishing a police station in the town, strengthening the
vigilance groups as well as encouraging the young boys on the need to be
in school, as a way of ending the problem.
