Afrobeats singer Seun Kuti is blaming religion for the increase in r*pe in Africa. In an Instagram video on Monday 4th May, the performer stated women walked around n***d for thousands of years before the coming of Christianity and Islam.
According to him, 95 per cent of r*pists are either Christians or Muslims. “Women weren’t created for men. Women weren’t created at all, for men. That lie must be erased from your head. It’s not a coincidence that 95 per cent of all r*pists are both Christians and Muslims.
African women walked around practically n***d for 1000s of years so what women wear isn’t an excuse neither. How about the damage the Catholic church is doing to our boys. Sharia courts sentencing women who defend themselves from r*pe to death!!”
