Nailing The Rapist(1)
According to the Nigerian Sexual Offenses Law, rape is committed when there is an intentional or unlawful penetration of a person's genital organs:
A. Without that person's consent
B. When consent was obtained by force, threats or intimidation of any kind.
A simple explanation to this is that a rape is said to have occured on a person if he or she was penetrated through his or her sex organ without his or her approval irrespective of the circumstance.
