For instance, the incidence of sexual abused in Ikot Ekpeyak Ikono has
become so rampant, this lead to the driving desire of the researcher to
research on this menace. In most communities of Ikot Ekpeyak every
teenage is seen with at least a child or toddler moving along with
mother on the way and this leads to various negative effects on the
individuals.

this menace has succeeded in their little way. It is very difficult for
most people to talk about sexual abuse and even more difficult for
society as a whole to acknowledge that the sexual abuse of children of

at their leisure time they will go around young girls abusing them
sexually and at the end it leads to unwanted pregnancies.
