‘Even Little Girls Are Not Safe,’ Simi Decries Assault Video

Following the recent incidences of assault and allegation of rape, Nigeria singer, Simisola Ogunleye popularly known as Simi has decried the unsafe situation for women generally.

She called for the protection of women in the country.

Simi took to her Instagram page to air her view on the alleged abuse video which went viral on the social media.

Recall that Busola Dakolo accused Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) of raping her when she was a teenager, in a now-viral interview. Also, surveillance footage that showed Senator Elisha Abbo the Senator Representing Adamawa North physically assaulting a woman in an Abuja sex toy shop with the assistance of a police man.  

She wrote @simplysimi on Instagram, “Women, even little girls are not safe in this country. First, there is oppression, abuse.

“When something does happen to you, nobody fights for you. The family says ‘Protect our name’, the church says ‘touch not my anointed’.

“The government just does not give. So men, please when people are fighting for women, say they are feminists and want equality rights for women, I hope you remember how unprotected they are and fight with them.

“Women, when you see another woman fighting for you and your rights, if you dont like the approach because you think everything is all about submission.

 “Your life is constantly at stake, if it hasn’t touched you yet, count your blessings. Open your eyes, the world does not favour you. Fight back.

 “As for these animals, you can only slap and rape for so long. One by one, judgement will find you and drag you down. I know men go through sexual assault too!

“I acknowledge it but women and children are more vulnerable. Let’s fight for and protect the most vulnerable in the society,” She said.
