A Nigerian postgraduate student was sentenced to 10 years in the UK for raping a 17-year-old girl in Bradford. Amid reactions to the news, one user commented, “He would have gotten away with it if na Naija.” While this may reflect frustration over Nigeria’s weak justice system, it unfairly generalizes the country as a place where rapists always go free. Such comments, instead of promoting accountability, paint a hopeless picture that discourages victims from seeking justice and ignores the ongoing efforts to strengthen legal and social responses to sexual violence in Nigeria.
