The state Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Mrs. Elizabeth Sonubi. who stated this, during a press conference held in Abeokuta, yesterday, described the development as unfortunate.

Sonubi while reacting to the recent alleged rape of two minors at the Light of Hope Orphanage, Akute, Ifo Local Government Area of the state, she explained that the state government returned the affected girls to the home on their request.

The commissioner who stated that the state government was not taking side on the issue said ''we are not taking sides on the issue, but we are concerned about their welfare and future and that was why we allowed them to return to the orphanage".
This is very true I must say. Rape is a big offence in the whole of Nigeria so it should be taken seriously. I support this wholeheartedly!
