The reason some Nigerians particularly young people commit bestiality has been attributed to the harsh economy, poor parental upbringing and other social issues bedevilling the nation.
Sunrise recalls that the social media space was recently flooded with motion pictures of Nigerian ladies captured while having sexual intercourse with dogs allegedly for N2 million reward.
The development which triggered outcries on social media forced the Nigeria Police to launch a manhunt to arrest and prosecute owners of the dogs who are allegedly paying ladies to have sex with their pets for rituals
A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi had vowed that security agents would not relent until the ladies seen committing the criminal offences in viral TikTok videos were apprehended and prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to their likes.
Recently too, a video had emerged of a 10-year-old student of Chrisland Schools, Lagos State, engaged in sexual intercourse with her male schoolmate during a competition in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The very young school girl prior to the sexual misconduct saga had secretly operated a social media account where she posted erotic content.
She was reportedly suspended by the school management after her escapades went viral on the online space.
Some men of God including the founder of Salvation Ministry, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, had while reacting to the video, blamed poor parenting for the immoral behaviour of children. He said parents are carried away by economic activities and have forgotten their roles in monitoring the activities of their children.
The moral issue does not exclude the male gender as three teenage boys were in January this year, caught burning the head of a girl, said to be in a relationship with one of them, for money ritual in Oke Aregba area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
Some stakeholders who spoke with our correspondent in Abuja, listed poverty, poor parental controls, and unemployment as reasons for the moral decadence currently taking over the lives of some Nigerian youths.
