Singer and songwriter, Seyi Shay, has demanded justice for women abused in a series of raids by Abuja policemen on nightclubs.
Seyi Shay, 33, lent her voice to the cause in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Making her point, she said: “Living as a woman in Nigeria comes at too high a cost, and it is time for our leaders to understand they cannot continue to turn a blind eye as our fundamental human rights are abused and trampled on repeatedly.
“Many have marched and protested, and we refuse to be silenced. We are demanding immediate justice for the abuse and assault of these women, and the reformation of the police force.”
A FCTA Joint Task Team, comprising the Department of Development Control, Abuja Environmental Protection Board and the Social Development Secretariat, raided Caramelo Night Club in Abuja on April 26 and arrested about 70 women.
The women were held in custody at Utako Police Division before being granted bail and arraigned at a mobile court on April 29.
The women have alleged that they were sexually assaulted at the police station; some even said that officers used sachet water nylon as condoms in the assault.
