The footage, which sparked widespread condemnation, captured scenes of women struggling to break free from groups of men, with some heard crying out for help.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has strongly condemned the recent incidents of s*xual harassment and assault reported at the Ozoro festival, describing the circulating videos as disturbing and deeply unacceptable.
Earlier, Tori News reported there were disturbing reports from Ozoro in Delta State, where footage allegedly showed the assault and harassment of women during a local festival.
The footage, which sparked widespread condemnation, captured scenes of women struggling to break free from groups of men, with some heard crying out for help.
Reacting to this in a statement posted by ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party called for “zero impunity” and urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation.
“Every single man that participated in the s*xual harassment and assault of the women of Ozoro must be identified and prosecuted,” the statement read.
The party emphasized that the attacks are particularly alarming given that Ozoro is home to a university and several schools, where young women and girls should feel safe.
The ADC also criticized the Delta State government for its lack of direct response.
“It is unacceptable that days later, the Governor has not spoken directly, choosing instead to communicate through aides. Silence at a time like this is a failure of moral leadership,” the statement stated.
The party insisted that such acts are intolerable and have no place in Nigeria.
