Videos from Nigeria’s Alue-Do fertility festival in Delta State showing women being chased, stripped and assaulted have sparked global outrage, leading to multiple arrests while community leaders deny rape occurred.
Disturbing videos from the annual Alue-Do fertility festival in Ozoro, Delta State have ignited worldwide condemnation after footage showed women being chased, stripped and sexually assaulted by groups of men in broad daylight.
Police have arrested multiple suspects, including a community leader. Delta Police Commissioner Aina Adesola ordered all suspects transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department immediately.
One victim, student Ezeugo Ijeoma Rosemary, recounted her ordeal: “A large crowd started pulling my clothes until they stripped me naked. They were pulling my breasts and touching my whole body… I was shouting for help.”
Community leaders denied rape occurred, calling the attacks a misinterpretation of cultural tradition. Gender rights advocates rejected that framing entirely.
“It’s about the conditions that make it possible for this kind of violence to happen in public, with so many people watching and no one stepping in,” said advocate Rita Aiki.
