Ace filmmaker, Kemi Adetiba has given insight into the unique behaviours exhibited by victims at the point of being raped.
She said that not all rape victims “scream” and “fight”, as people have different ways of reacting to shock or surviving trauma.
Adetiba stated this in apparent response to the controversy generated by the rape accusation made by popular photographer Busola Dakolo against Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.
The filmmaker had told a social media commentator to “shut it” after insinuating that a rape victim should scream while being molested.
Adetiba said, “This is a reminder to those that do not know or aren’t sure – a victim of RAPE can go for decades without confronting her truth.
“Another reminder – not all rape victims SCREAM and FIGHT. This is not the movies, and there’s is no one way react to shock or survive trauma.”
