BBNaija Star TBoss Urges Nigeria to Introduce Chemical Castration for Rapists and Child Abusers
Former Big Brother Naija star Tokunbo Idowu, popularly known as TBoss, is calling on the Nigerian government to introduce chemical castration as a punishment for rapists and child abusers. She made her statement on Instagram, responding to recent reports that Italy is working to legalize chemical castration for violent sex offenders.
The Italian government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, recently took steps toward creating a law that would allow the use of androgen-blocking drugs—commonly known as chemical castration—to control dangerous sex offenders. Lawmakers in Italy have approved the setup of a committee to draft the legislation.
Reacting to this, TBoss reposted the news and wrote simply but strongly, “Agreed. Nigeria should be next.”
Her statement has since gained attention from fans, activists, and supporters online, especially at a time when concerns about rape, child abuse, and sexual violence are rising in Nigeria. Many people have praised her for speaking out and for using her platform to push for stronger laws to protect victims and punish offenders.
In a related development, Nigerian on-air personality and actress Omotunde Adebowale-David, popularly known as Lolo 1, also shared her personal experience as a rape survivor. She revealed during an episode of the Say My Piece podcast that she was raped by a colleague in the media industry six years ago.
Lolo 1 explained that she still suffers emotional trauma from the experience. She said she becomes afraid and panics whenever she sees her rapist, who has now become a prominent name in the Nigerian broadcasting industry.
According to her, the journey of healing has been difficult, and she is not yet ready to share all the details of her story. She highlighted how painful and hard it is for rape survivors to speak out due to shame, fear, and societal judgment.
Her revelation sparked new conversations about the lack of justice for victims and how many offenders go unpunished in Nigeria. It also highlights why celebrities like TBoss are now calling for extreme legal measures such as chemical castration.
Chemical castration involves using drugs to reduce a person’s sexual urges and ability to commit sexual offenses. Although controversial, it has been introduced or considered in several countries as a way to handle repeat sexual offenders who are seen as a danger to society.
Many Nigerians are now joining TBoss and others in demanding that lawmakers consider such tough actions to protect children and women from abuse. They believe it could serve as a warning to would-be offenders and help reduce the rising number of rape cases in the country.
