ACTRESS, Foluke Daramola-Salako (pictured

were perpetrated by religious leaders.
Daramola-Salako disclosed this during an Instagram live
session on Saturday while narrating how she was raped by her tenant when she
was 17.
According to her, “75% of the cases I have on my
table are from religious leaders and most times we don’t get to the end of it.
“This is because when we start investigating the
cases, the family would come and tell us we should leave the religious leader
to God.”
She further dismissed claims that indecent dressing by
ladies is responsible for the increase in the number of rape cases.
The actress stressed that rape is just a sign of
weakness by rapists, adding that “Nothing attracts rape. Why do they rape
minors, teenagers, and even old women. Is that also about indecent dressing?
According to her, most victims of rape cases in
Nigeria are children, teenagers and elderly women who do not dress indecently.
She added, “You hardly find rape cases against young women
except for sexual assaults and abuse in workplaces, we find it mostly amongst
children, teenagers, and elderly women, how come you are now telling me it is
indecent dressing?
Meanwhile, the International Federation of Women
Lawyers (FIDA) on Saturday demanded for death
sentence as punishment for rapists in Nigeria.
