SAN Decries Incessant Assaults On Women By Security Operatives

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – A senior Advocate of Nigeria and human rights crusader, Professor Joy Ngozi Ezeilo, has condemned the incessant attacks and violation of women’s dignity with impunity by security operatives.

The law professor was reacting to a recent viral video in which a female youth corper serving in Anambra state, was allegedly assaulted by Vigilante Operatives in the state.

 In a statement  made available to newsmen Wednesday, Professor Ezeilo, harped on the need for perpetrators of such acts to be held to account for their actions.

“Who filmed this outrage, and who spread it? The answer, disturbingly, points to security personnel themselves” she stated.

“Why do some men, especially those tasked with protecting us, choose to target women and violate their dignity.? 

 “The viral video of the female corper in Anambra state is a stark call for accountability: those responsible must be held to account. This demands urgent action. 

According to the former Enugu state Commissioner for Women Affairs , “Every woman deserves respect for her dignity, her privacy, and her bodily autonomy.

“Let us stand up for women’s sanctuary, because justice means protecting everyone’s humanity” she posited.

“We demand safe cities for women. The current state of impunity must come to an end.” the statement concluded.
