The groups, which comprise women organisations, scholars, civil society and human rights activists, in a statement issued yesterday in Abuja by Programme Assistant of Project Alert on Violence Against Women , Nsini Udonta, condemned the recent raids, humiliation, assault, sexual harassment and arrest of over 100 women in Abuja.
“It appears that the FCTA joint task team unilaterally and without respect for the rule of law, choose to contain any environmental nuisance the night club was allegedly causing. “It targeted and violated young women at the club, particularly dancers and strippers without any attempt to question the club’s proprietors or arrest the male guests.
“The violence inflicted on the women was vicious. They suffered the mistreatment because they were women and these officers were confident that they could get away with it,” the statement reads.The group said it was shocked by reports that a mobile court at the old parade ground in Area 10, Abuja in the afternoon of April 29, 2019, convicted several of the women, while some of them were sentenced to jail or fine for an offence alien to law.
Yes I think these women are right. Why punish only women and exclude men? If there are no men to patronise those women they wouldn't be there at all. Or do you want to tell me that those women went to those men's houses to drag them to the nude club or whatever? I need answers.
Revolution is the only way out. You can't talk for 59yrs, still talking, that means you are a fool. Algeria and Sudan are about to be free, Nigeria must be set free too. I am ready. We need wise organizers no killing no destroying of Government propert that's the only way out.
