Rape victim asks others to take action against gender-based violence
Victims of rape and other forms of gender-based violence have been asked d to report to the relevant authorities to get help and justice.
Ms Elizabeth Bumkeng, a victim of rape and author, made the call at her book launch in Abuja on Saturday.
The book is titled: “Healing from Within… Reclaiming Life After Sexual and Gender – Based Violence”.
Bumkeng said that not reporting the matter and seeking appropriate help could lead to depression and further complications.
She said that after she was abused, she was traumatised, scared and would always have nightmares and a feeling the culprit will walk away and do same to other girls.
According to her, part of her healing process was reporting the person who abused her; which she described as a step forward towards healing for her.
Bumkeng called on all stakeholders to join in the fight against gender-based violence in the society.
“This is a clarion call for everybody, the civil societies, the community leaders, the village chiefs, the government, the lawmakers, everyone in office in whatever capacity that you are.
“This is a sole responsibility for you and I as a person to fight against sexual and gender-based violence.
“This is not a fight for me alone; as Elizabeth I have started my fight, I have written a book and this book covers ways to help survivors.
“The next step for every one of us here is to spread the news and to help join the fight. This means if you hear someone doing this, you have the right to stop any one.
“Do not say it does not concern me. It concerns each and every one of us,” she said.
She explained that the book talks about how to get healing, the relevant government agencies and their roles, the law and stipulated punishments for offenders.
“So this book is informative and I recommend it for every child, every family, every community, every government agencies, I recommend it to everyone because you need to know about the do’s and don’ts about the laws, the persecution and everything,” she said.
The chief launcher of the book, Mr Nuhu Kwajafa, said the most effective way of helping victims is by punishing the offenders.
He said that the first step is to make the police see the need to take sexual harassment very seriously.
According to him, the police take armed robbery more seriously than rape; whereas in the western world a first time robber without criminal record can be pardoned but nothing of such for a rapist.
“I have dealt with so many cases of rape where the police will tell you openly that your family should go and settle the matter at home.
“So the only way government can support the victim is that government needs to put things in place that will tackle those who are involved in
“This is because there’s no way somebody can heal when the person who committed the crime is walking free.
“Everyone has to support and play their own role. I mean, everyone has a responsibility.
“The media needs to shout it out, the media needs to call the authorities out, the media needs to bring it out that 80 per cent of sexual harassment cases are being killed by the police,” he said.

The Nasarawa State Government has said it will demolish structures built on water ways as part of measures to prevent flooding.
Mr Yakubu Kwanta, the State Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, made the disclosure while briefing newsmen on Saturday in Lafia after the August environmental sanitation exercise.
The commissioner who was represented by Malam Abubakar Mohammed, Chief Environment Officer, who is also the Chief Prosecutor of the ministry, said the ministry would be proactive to prevent any disaster.
He explained that the decision to demolish the structures followed NIMET’s recent prediction of possible flooding in 25 states including Nasarawa State.
He said the government had directed residents of flood prone areas to relocate to safer grounds.
According to him, given the way flood had ravaged some parts of the State in the recent past, the ministry would not allow anybody to block the water ways.
“When you block the water ways and prevent water against free flow, you are inviting disaster, because any how it will find its way,” he said.
On the level of compliance with the monthly exercise, the commissioner expressed satisfaction and lauded traditional rulers, chairmen of area councils as well as the security agencies for the success of the exercise.
He said that about the 85 per cent of the residents complied by locking their shops and businesses to partake in the exercise.
The commissioner said the state was temporarily shutdown during the exercise in line with the law, except those on essential services.
“We only allowed those with permission from relevant authorities and those on essential services to pass, and move around during the exercise,” he added.
He therefore, called on members of the public to always keep their environment clean to guard against outbreak of diseases.
Meanwhile, 86 persons suspected to have violated environmental sanitation laws across the state were arrested and prosecuted by various mobile courts in the respective LGAs.

PWDs appeal to C’ River Govt to conduct LG polls
Persons Living with Disabilities (PWDs), under the auspices of TAF Africa, an NGO, has appealed to the Government of Cross River to fix a date for Local Government Election in the state.
This was disclosed by Dr. Jake Epelle, Convener, TAF Africa, on Saturday in Calabar during a workshop to train leaders of various disability groups on skillful and impactful advocacy to build their capacities.
Epelle said that it was time for the present administration in Cross River to put out a date and time for the LG polls.
He said that the election would help Gov. Bassey Otu in his roadmap to building a virile state.
“We chose Cross River because we want to support the state through our project to have inclusive election, governance and Civil Society Organisations, (CSOs) that will champion the cause of disability inclusion in its entirety.
“The opportunities that will come out of this effort will go to PWDs with equity, because I can assure you that if PWDs are not united, we will get nothing In fact, some politicians will take advantage of the crisis and do nothing for us.
“Although TAF Africa has limited resources, with our effective management and goodwill, we can get a lot of things done as it concerns equipment for PWDs for the LG polls in the state,” he said.
Epelle maintained that they wanted Cross River to be the first state to have a concrete and inclusive framework that would drive governance from the grassroot.
On his part, Prof. Anthony Owan-Enoh, Secretary to the Government of Cross River said he was willing to link PWDs to the state government for them to get easy access.
Owan-Enoh noted that disability does not mean lack of ability because for every element of disability, there is so much potential and ability behind it.
“I have offered to be an ambassador for the PWDs in Cross River, to speak for them and help them get what they deserve.
“PWDs should come out of their shells, forget about their conditions and identify their potential like every other humans and contribute their best for the development of the society.
Similarly, Prof. Mike Oshie, Chairman Cross River Independent Electoral Commission (CROSIEC) said disability does not mean lack of capacity, adding that many PWDs in the commission had delivered when given opportunities.
“We have PWDs as staff in the commission and they participate during the elections. For the equipment needed for them, we will work with TAF Africa to help us in that area.
“The commission already has an electoral guideline but with this new development I have sent it to PWDs to review for us to adopt for a better LG poll,” he noted.
Some of the PWDs who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN) said the workshop was enriching and would help them push better towards inclusion and integration of PWDs in the society.
They said apart from learning to live as contributors in the society and not like liabilities, they had learnt to engage in diplomatic advocacy to achieve their aims instead of resorting to violence.
NAN reports that TAF Africa, formerly The Albino Foundation is an umbrella body of PWDs at the national and international level for advocacy through programme designs.

We’ve spent N7.6bn on Gombe ultra-modern motor park – Gov. Yahaya
Gov. Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State says the state government has so far spent N7.6 billion on constructing and equipping the ultra-modern motor park in the state.
Yahaya stated this while inspecting facilities at the park on Saturday.
He queried the contractor for working behind schedule saying that such would no longer be condoned by the state government as his administration is eager to ensure the utilisation of the project for the benefits of the people.
“We have invested N7.6 billion on this project and the contractor had been lagging behind and that would no longer be tolerated.
“We are eager to put the facility to use for the benefit of our people,” he said.
On the contractor’s pledge to deliver the project by September, Yahaya said “I will charge you if you don’t deliver by September ending because N7.6 billion is no small money.
“We are not owing you a kobo and so there is no reason why you shouldn’t deliver by that September,” he added.
The governor said that the state government had set up a committee to ensure seamless relocation of all existing parks in the metropolis, hence the need for the contractor to deliver by the September deadline.
He said that critical stakeholders in the transport sector in the state had given their supports as the project would be beneficial to them, create more jobs and make movement in the state easier.
According to him, the relocation of the Bauchi motor park was to give room for more developmental projects in the state, adding that a three arm zone would be cited at the location after its relocation.
“Once the motor parks are out, we shall see where we will utilise to take care of the interest of everyone as we are expanding and growing towards making Gombe a modern city,” he said.
On how the state government raised the N7.6 billion, Yahaya said the project was financed through a bond, adding that the government had commenced a post-dated payment and had been paying in installments.
He stated that the management of the motor park had been ceded to Gombe Revenue Optimisation Company Limited to work with the unions in the transport sector to recoup the money over time.
He said that the investment in the project is huge and expected to benefit the people of the state and impact positively on the economy.
Yahaya also inspected ongoing projects in the state capital which include the ongoing construction of the Sharia Court of Appeal, Bauchi Motor Park and some road projects in Gombe metropolis.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the governor had on Thursday set up a taskforce to facilitate the smooth transition of operations from three major motor parks to the ultra-modern park.
The three major motor parks to be relocated to the new park along Dukku Road when completed are Bauchi Motor Park, Dukku Motor Park and Dadinkowa Motor Park.
The ultra modern motor park has the following facilities: road networks, 250 shops, clinic, hotel with 100 people capacity, fire service station, trailer park which can contain 2,500 trailers at a time, police outpost amongst others.
The project, awarded by Ibrahim Dankwambo’s administration since 2012 at the initial contract sum of 3.2 billion naira is said to have gulped almost 2.8 billion billion naira and attained 43 per cent completion status before being allegedly abandoned.
