CANAL KNOWLEDGE:OUR LIMITATIONS

A 34 years old Muhammed Ahmed has been arraigned in court by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps in Oshogbo for allegedly having sex with his 14 years old daughter.It was gathered that the accused had allegedly been having canal knowledge of the girls since April until he was arrested following a tip-off by one of his neighbors.



The accused pleaded  guilty to the offense unlawfully having canal knowledge of his daughter

Before next adjourned date, Let us discuss the implication of this ungodly and unlawful attitude of the accused in this matter around the world. If you have been following our write ups on this blog ,you would have had basic knowledge of rape and penalty prescribed for it in Nigeria.

Rape is highly condemned world over.

In Saudi Arabia for instance in a decided case between the government and Fayhan Al-Ghamdi (a preacher on Saudi channels) Fayhan was found guilty of having sexual intercourse with his 5 years old daughter. He was sentenced to 8 years imprisonment and should be given 800 (eight hundred) lashes for the offense.

Unites kingdom: Liam James was arraigned on a 10 counts charge of sexual assault and rape against his daughter, he was convicted for 16 years imprisonment. It was also reported that assaulting one’s child in Liam’s family has become a norm because his father has been charged for assaulting his family members in the past.

Australia: An accused shall be convicted and sentenced to 18 years imprisonment or more, it is at the court’s discretion.

I am sure we have all seen that it is unlawful to have canal knowledge of one’s child, cousin, sister with or without their consent, the right we have as father does not extend to having canal knowledge.

Thank you.
