Filabusi Man Jailed 20 Years for Raping Granddaughter

A Filabusi man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for raping his 12-year-old granddaughter after luring her into his bedroom. The court heard that the assault occurred on June 4, and the victim disclosed the abuse to a relative. The sentence has drawn criticism from child rights advocates who argue that incestuous offenders should face life imprisonment. According to the Southern Eye, the case is one of several recent prosecutions involving elderly male relatives as perpetrators. The judiciary now faces pressure to harmonize sentencing for familial sexual abuse.
