摘要

宗教界的性剥削经常被低估,尤其是在当代尼日利亚。这包括滥用权力和滥用信托关系,促使人们呼吁审查规范宗教活动的现有框架。由于会众对宗教领袖的特殊信任,尼日利亚社会各部分的宗教领袖参与了对其追随者的性侵犯,这已经有了几则新闻报道。因此,本研究的目的是审查尼日利亚宗教领袖及其追随者之间信托关系的性虐待。采用理论法学研究方法。采用这一方法的理由是,以法律灵丹妙药来解决我国社会的难题,从而确立关于性剥削的影响和尼日利亚宗教界追随者的脆弱性的调查结果的可信性。本文运用社会契约理论和法律的功利主义理论进行研究。理由是,法律应该被用作社会工程的工具,以增加人类的幸福和打击性剥削。这涉及到内容分析;第一手资料和第二手资料为参考资料。从本质上讲,新闻文章、教科书、同行评议期刊和互联网源材料被用来提取信息。总之,该研究发现,遭受性骚扰或性虐待的信徒对上帝的真正教义一无所知,并错误地信任他们的领袖。除其他外,建议社会停止赞美宗教领袖,并寻求上帝的真正教义。

Sexual Exploitation and Vulnerability of Followers in Nigerian Religious Circles: A Legal Approach

Sexual exploitation in religious circles is often underreported, especially in contemporary Nigeria. This includes the misuse of power and abuse of fiduciary relationships, prompting calls for reviewing the existing frameworks that regulate religious activities. There have been several news reports about religious leaders involved in the sexual abuse of their followers in various parts of Nigerian society due to the special trust that the congregation has in them. Hence, the objective of the study is to examine the sexual abuse of fiduciary relationships between religious leaders and their followers in Nigeria. The doctrinal legal research method is adopted. The reasoning for utilising the approach was to establish the credibility of the findings on the impacts of sexual exploitation and the vulnerability of followers in Nigerian religious circles with the legal panacea to the conundrum in our society. The social contract theory and utilitarian theory of law are utilised to model the study. The justification is that the law should be used as a tool of social engineering to increase human happiness and combat sexual exploitation. This involves content analysis; primary and secondary data were sources of reference. In essence, news articles, textbooks, peer-reviewed journals, and internet source materials were utilised to extract information. In conclusion, the study finds that followers who are victims of sexual harassment or abuse are ignorant of the true teachings of God and erroneously put their trust in their leaders. It is recommended, among others, that society desist from glorifying religious leaders and seek the true teachings of God.
