This case highlights the serious issue of sexual abuse and human trafficking in Nigeria. Bishop Kenneth Duke’s conviction for the rape of a 12-year-old girl is a significant legal outcome, and his 20-year sentence sends a strong message regarding the severity of such crimes. The actions of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) in rescuing pregnant girls from a suspected baby factory further emphasize the ongoing battle against human trafficking and exploitation in the country.
This trial serves as a reminder of the importance of holding those in positions of trust accountable for their actions, as well as the need for continued efforts to combat trafficking and abuse. The work being done by NAPTIP to intervene and rescue victims is crucial to protecting vulnerable individuals.
