In recent times, the mainstream media have competed for headlines on cases of child S3@.Xx:’ual abuse, while social media has been awash on all sorts of stories on this topic.
This is gradually becoming a cause for concern amongst many human right activists and the government at large.
Fresh on our minds is the abduction and forced child marriage story of Ese Oruru, a development which has left question marks on the competence of our judicial system and law enforcement agencies. The latter in this case being the Nigerian Police Force, to be specific.
In August 2015, Ese Oruru, 13 years old at the time, was taken from her mother’s shop in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, by a tricycle operator known as Yinusa Dahiru aka Yellow.
According to reports, Yinusa took Ese to Kano state, converted her to Islam, renamed her “Aisha” and subsequently married her. It was alleged that the conversion and marriage took place in the palace of the Emir of Kano, former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.
Following the incident, Ese’s mother, Rose Oruru, attempted to recover her daughter from the Kano state authorities involved in the matter, but to no avail as Ese allegedly still remained in the custody of the Emir till the federal government stepped in last month.
Unfortunately, the intervention of the government and the Nigeria police came quite late as reports have it that Ese is nursing a five months old baby.
This has created rage amongst many Nigerians who have dubbed the Ese-drama as a “clear case of child trafficking”, “a worse form of corruption,” amongst many other remarks.
It is believed that there are over 100 rape and child abuse cases within nine months in this administration, going by reports.
However, the focus should be what could possibly cause someone to suddenly molest a child.
Five of the reasons are highlighted below:
1. Intellectual Disability
Child S3@.Xx:’ual abuse is a form of child abuse in which an adult used a child for S3@.Xx:’ual stimulation. A few S3@.Xx:’ual abusers will S3@.Xx:’ually touch a child because they are extremely intellectually disabled, or they have developed a brain disorder.
