Several ladies were sexu@lly molested by men who attacked them during what some have described as a ‘’r@ping festival’ in Ozoro, Delta state on Thursday, March 19.
According to reports, the community holds a festival in March every year in which ladies are barred from being seen in public and any lady who fails to remain indoors is molested by the men holding the festival. Videos shared online showed several young men running towards any lady they see on the road, ripping their clothes off and molesting them. Some of the ladies could be seen crying for help as the men molested them. It is alleged that some of the ladies were r@ped by the rampaging men.
