Nigerians have attacked the Acting Secretary to the FCT Social Development Secretariat, Safiya Umar, who is said to have co-ordinated raids on several nightclubs in Abuja.
In one of the raids, the FCTA Joint Task Team, comprising the Department of Development Control, Abuja Environmental Protection Board and the Social Development Secretariat, invaded Caramelo Night Club in Abuja on April 26 and arrested about 70 women.

The ladies were held in custody at Utako Police Division before being granted bail and arraigned at a mobile court on April 29.
The women alleged that they were sexually assaulted at the police station; some even said that officers used sachet water nylon as condoms in the assault.
In videos being circulated on social media, Umar is seen reproaching women who wear skimpy clothes in the full glare of clothed men.
Nigerians on Twitter have begun criticising Umar, saying men and women should be treated equally.
