Stella Justice, a Nigerian lawyer, has caused a stir with a statement she made online.
The lawyer said a man cannot be
convicted for r*ping his wife because marital or spousal r*pe is not a crime in
Nigeria.
“CAN A HUSBAND R@PË HIS WIFE? A
WIFE who is LEGALLY MARRIED to a MAN CANNOT claim that her HUSBAND R@PED her no
matter the CIRCUMSTANCES under which the HUSBAND had SËX with her,” she wrote
in a post on Saturday.
"This is because, the
OFFENCE of SPOUSAL or MARITAL R@PÊ is YET to be provided in any LAW in NIGERIA.
"A man CANNOT be CONVICTED for the
offence of R@PING his WIFE.
"SECTION 282(2) of the
penal code act
“SECTION 357 of the criminal
code act.”
