A legal luminary, Prof Joy Ezeilo, SAN, has seriously condemned the attack on a female corps member in Anambra State by security operatives.
Video of the incident, which went viral on Tuesday, comes barely one week after an incident involving Ibom Air and a female passenger whose body was exposed.
Ezeilo, the Executive Director of Women Aid Collective, WACOL, then questioned the endless violation of the rights of women by men.
In a statement she personally signed and made available to our correspondent, she also questioned those who filed the victim’s nude and circulated it on the internet.
“Why do some men, especially those tasked with protecting us, choose to target women and violate their dignity?” She queried.
The don added that “The viral video of the female Corper in Anambra state is a stark call for accountability: those responsible must be held to account. Who filmed this outrage, and who spread it?
“The answer, disturbingly, points to security personnel themselves. This demands urgent action.
“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.
“We demand safe cities for women. The current state of impunity must come to an end.”
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Bar Association has also joined in seeking justice of the victim.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Association said justice must be seen to have been done.
