Fed Govt to punish women who protect paedophile husbands…

The Federal Government has said women who protect husbands that molest their children will also be charged with negligence.

The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, who said this, stressed that the government would no longer tolerate mothers whose children have been molested.

The minister said such wives may not want their husbands to be punished but explained that the government’s interest was in the protection of the child.

The minister said her ministry was planning the establishment of mobile courts to be established across the country to fight such cases. 

She added that in today’s world of technology, using mobile applications, online reporting mechanisms, and virtual support networks could empower survivors to seek help and access resources discreetly.
