The Nigerian Medical Association has condemned the alleged assault and rape of Kogi beauty queen, Elizabeth Oyeniyi, by the Kogi State Commissioner for Water Resources, Abdulmumuni Danga.
The victim while narrating her ordeal to Dorothy Njemanze Foundation on a viral video said the commissioner abducted and battered her because she advised him to be responsible to his family members.
A statement on Saturday by the Chairman, NMA National Committee on Gender Violence, Dr Godwin Tijani, decried the action describing it as a gross gender violation and abuse of office by the government’s official. ‘’Its impact ranges from immediate to long-term multiple physical, sexual and mental consequences for women and girls, including death. It negatively affects the victim’s general well-being and prevents such women from fully participating in society.
The association called on the relevant law enforcement agencies to conduct thorough investigation into the allegations and ensure justice delivery.
