NAWOJ protests in Adamawa, demands state of emergency against rape
The women who turned out in black attires carried placards expressing their grief: ‘NAWOJ Adamawa Says NO to Rape’, ‘It’s 5 Minutes for you, a lifetime for her’, ‘We seek justice for rape victims’, ‘I support death sentence for rape’.
“We ask the Adamawa State Government to declare a state of emergency against rape; it is becoming too alarming to be treated like just any other anti-social act,” the NAWOJ chairperson said. Chairman of the Adamawa State Council of Nigeria Union of Journalists , Ishaka Dedan, who also spoke, said journalists are tired of reporting rape incidents.“NUJ is out to join NAWOJ against rape. We’ve had enough of writing stories about men raping their neighbours or even their daughters. The nonsense must stop,” the NUJ chairman said.
