No time limit....?

some things are better you do it now or forever hold your peace....

Just look at how Busola whose husband was proud he married a Virgin years ago came back to say she was raped years before her husband married her a Virgin

She's successful called hubby a liar in front of the whole world

The children may yet be ridiculed in school,

Even her unborn generation will come to read the story and the debate, whether it was actually a rape or consentual sex

cosby is in jail for rape he committed 30 years ago... In the western world whether na 50 years ago, if allegations are made you will be investigated

People need to understand Bill Cosby was nabbed by a singular case that happened in 2014 reason was that he bought a drug for the lady and the timeline checked during investigation with the help of CCTV and forensics. The first case of the ladies that accused him was said to be mistrial and he plead not guilty due to the mistrial from the jury. They felt at that point the timeline did not check and that there was no concrete evidence to nab Cosby.

What if the culprit turn's a new leaf and got a new life. He got forgiven by the victim after his pleas,and moved on, married and was a success the victim got jealous and uses it against him in future. Is it fair too?

Cowards die a thousand times.
I know you are shocked because Busola has done something you can never
imagine doing. Outing a rapist after so many years.

All you care about is living a life of pretense because of what people will say.

Stop lieing, u rape apologist. There was never anytime Timi said that. It only exists in the imagination of COZA/Rapist apologists. Show a link or keep quiet.

Please use your brain , no one is ing rape here , but talking based on busola narrative which is not adding up .Why jumped into conclusion and later realise the man is innocent , will apologies bring back the man's dented image please let's tread with caution.

Post did not say police will jump to conclusion. Post said if it happened even in the past feel free to report such violation and let the police look into it.
If it is false and proven so beyond doubt (not that the rapist got saved cos no medical report was obtained so time has erased evidence) then the woman should be jailed too for her crime.

From your commented I just find out that you are so much addicted to Kemi Oluloya bullshit a lot .

There is nothing like rape apologists here , what he is trying to say is applicable to all crime of abuse and not rape only, the earlier the better .R.Kelly accs filled a valid report with law enforcement agents and they carried out due investigation and had enough proof to had him arrested . No one is ing rape, here but the way busola and her ers are going about it is totally wrong ,why all this media ranting ? why not channelled such to hire a private investigator for your busola to try and proof if actual rape occur, and if it do happen get justice for her ,but coming on social media to castigate one on mere allegation is wrong in all ramification.



How when there is no evidence at hand.
And if the so called pastor is innocent he should charge her for damaged. That is how people who claimed to be innocent do.

When was the husband ever proud he married a virgin? why are you so incredibly foolish


Can you provide a proof of where Timi Dakolo confirmed his wife a virgin? Don't tell me you got your info from a faceless facebook .


You think if it's true he said that, our jobless bloggers no go don dig up the videos and posts?


A little Google Search would have saved your ignorant brain from embarrassment. That's why majority of you Nigerian graduates are unemployable.


Mumu check those links and update your brain:

https://nigerianewsupdate.com/i-never-said-my-wife-was-a-virgin-timi-dakolo/

https://www.concisenews.global/2019/07/04/fact-check-did-timi-dakolo-ever-say-he-met-busola-a-virgin/






All men does that , even one mumu pastor in my village said his wife was a virgin when he married her forgetting we know when one brother in my area was screwing her even got her pregnant of their first issue that are twin grown up boys. Main looking at the boys one need no prophet to tell one that is that brother that fathered them .5 years ago he had a little issue with her pastor of a husband and she threatened to hand over the children to their father cause their real father is looking for a male child since he can't father one agian after he lost the only one had . The twin boys are 18years now looking more handsome like their real father. They are just a copy of their real father .
So all men claimed they married virgin , if Timi doesn't he is not definitely not the first neither will he be the last.
That is how you are claimed Boidun wedding them until Timi cleared the air. Let's wait until we hear from Timi himself on when he said he married Busola a virgin.

The Nigerian Police yesterday said there is no time limit for reporting cases of rape and other sexual assaults to the security and other appropriate agencies in the country. They insisted that irrespective of how long it takes a rape victim to report the case, the Police and the state owe him or her a responsibility to diligently investigate the complaint and bring offenders to book.

Speaking in an exclusive interview yesterday with The Guardian in Abuja, Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba (a Deputy Commissioner of Police), however, added that although it doesn’t matter how long it takes before the reports are made, the sooner a victim calls the Police, the easier it is for it to collect the evidence needed to prove the charge.

He said: “But I will say without equivocation that when rape cases or other forms of abuses are reported timorously, the proximity in time between when the offence is committed and when they are reported helps the Police in managing investigation better, because the memories are fresher in the mind of the victim, the crime scene is less contaminated, it is easier to pick up traces and pieces of evidence from the crime scene and forensic investigations are easier and better handled.


“My recommendation is that victims of rape cases and other forms of sexual assault should endeavour to report their cases on time, but they must also know that there are no time bars to the investigation of rape cases.

“The offence is not statute-barred and they can decide to report their case any time they chose and the Police is duty-bound to investigate them.”

Mba explained that the Police have adopted a multifaceted approach in tackling the challenges associated with rape and other sexual offences, adding: “One of the things we have done is to create a specialised investigative and response units in almost all the Police stations and particularly at the State Criminal Investigative Department (CID) and Force CID levels. We have specialised sections called the Police Gender Units.

“We also have the Juvenile and Women Centres (JWC), which was specifically created, powered, trained and charged with the responsibility of responding to offences that touch on women and children, and rape is one of them. Rape is the focus of not just the gender unit, but also the juvenile and women centres.

“In some states of the federation, the Police have also been able to develop a functional and collaborative working relationship with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in those states. Our best example is Lagos State, where the state government has a dedicated unit at its teaching hospital charged with the responsibility of providing forensic to the Police in their investigations of not just rape cases, but other sexual offences.”

Mba lamented that the Police is faced with fundamental challenges in their efforts to bring justices to rape victims and also punish and bring rape suspects and paedophiles to book, one of which is the reluctance on the part of rape victims to report rape incidence to the Police and other law enforcement agencies.


“At other times, they may make the report, but it may come very late. There is a need for us to look into some of the reasons why people are reluctant in reporting cases of rape and see how we can work together as a community and as a people to eliminate those fears.

“I think one of the reasons victims are reluctant to report cases of rape is fear of the stigmatisation that could arise from speaking out.

“The second reason, which I have also found out while relating one-on-one with some of the victims as a Police officer, is their discomfort with some of the investigative procedures.

“A lot of them are also reluctant to report for fear of embarrassment that could be associated with their report arising from media coverage. The fear of negative publicity and embarrassment associated with such publicity is also a factor.

“We have also discovered that some of the rapists leave their victims with ongoing threats of bodily harm and blackmail.”

The Force spokesman, however, explained that the Police has created special units to provide privacy to victims during the processes of investigations and assurance that their fears and concerns would be taken care of, adding: “We are also pursuing witnesses protective programmes that could help to protect the victims and their witnesses so as to give them that assurance of safety and security.”


He said most rape cases are committed by people that are known to the victims, noting: “Of all the reports we have, over 90 per cent of them are committed by acquaintances, the people that know the victims.”

Mba disclosed that the Force has been carrying out massive prosecution of rape suspects across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

Similarly, the Director of Public Enlightenment, National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Arinze Orakwe, told The Guardian in an exclusive interview in Abuja, yesterday, that rape victims reserve the right to disclose their experiences anytime they wish, saying there is no national template on the timeframe a rape victim should disclose her harrowing experience.

But he called for the review of the law guiding rape cases in Nigeria to swing in favour of victims, as it would stem the tide of rising cases of paedophile and rape in the country.

He explained that the burden of proof that is placed on victims is aiding rapists and assaulters to go unpunished, adding: “NAPTIP will fully the review of the rape law. While I am not speaking on behalf of NAPTIP, I as an individual and operator the review of the law. The law as presently crafted is a burden on victims. Indeed, the law seeks to dampen the morale of families of victims to press charges, because it is almost impossible to prove rape cases successfully in our court of law, because of the evidence that is required.”

Orakwe also noted that NAPTIP would continue to appeal to parents to know that they are the first responders by way of protecting their children, insisting: “Parents must mind whom they leave their children with because the family knows paedophiles. Children normally submit their basic security instincts to uncles, pastors, neighbours or aunties. That is why we emphasise to parents that they must mount the first roadblock, mount the first resistance against these acts.”
