Recounting his experience, Ruggedman said some male students said the girls should “dress proper” but the campaigners told the boys to “act proper”.
“Before you attempt rape, remember the females in your life. Remember your mother, sister, cousins, nieces and daughters,” he said in a message posted on Instagram.
Other celebrities that have walked against rape include Wunmi Obe, Dayo Amusa, Tayo Odueke and Ruby Gyang.
