Popular Singer, Simi , Calls For Capital Punishment for Rapists
Afrobeats singer, Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has called for capital punishment for rapists after multiple reports in the media that Nigeria is currently in a sexual assault crisis with multiple rape allegations being reported in different parts of the country.
Reacting on Tuesday night, Simi passionately appealed to citizens and the authorities to put an end to sexual assault against women.
However, her suggestion of a capital punishment for rapists sparked a debate, with many arguing that the same should be given to false rape accusers.
She argued that it isn’t right to stop people from speaking against sexual assault just because of false rape accusers.
“How many of your friends have actually assaulted women as vibes?? Women are terrified to go out. Women in their homes are not safe either. Ask your sisters. Ask your female friends and your girlfriends. Ask your wives. We’re not all crazy. Stop raping women,” she added.
Simi also urged men to hold their fellow men accountable, claiming that men creating the enabling environment for rapists due to their failure to hold other accountable.
