<p>There is no week or month that rape cases don't make headlines in the print, electronic and social media which are of course heartbreaking. A lot of people are afraid to make it public because of the stigmatization. The recent story of an okada (motorcycle) rider raping a 14 (fourteen) years innocent girl in Lagos, South-West, Nigeria is heartbreaking. Why most women and children bear \"this end time signs\". Our government should take a drastic steps against this heinous crime. I believe death penalty should be the option for this crime against humanilty. OurLeaders should please come to our aid.</p>
