The government has failed on a lot of fronts, but the biggest of them is its inability to foster unity. From police brutality to herdsmen, RUGA, intra/inter-communal clashes, criminality of IPOB, excesses by Hisbah, the birth of Amotekun, etc. all have served to amplify disunity.
Unfortunately, we're facing each other, instead of asking our government hard questions, absolving them of the responsibility to provide an urgent account of their stewardship as far as protecting lives and aspirations is concerned.

Think about it. Where is the intelligence?
What is the strategy to resolve clashes between geopolitical zones? What is the strategy for Boko Haram that was 'technically defeated' 5 years ago? What is the plan to cripple the growing kidnapper ecosystem? Where are we going with the devaluation of the naira? Answers, anyone?

So Miss Seyitan Eunice Babatayo who was supposed to meet with @PoliceNG PPRO this morning is nowhere to be found. She's not answering calls or in contact with her lawyer or family. There is strong reason to believe she didn't get home last night.

It is unconscionable that women in Nigeria cannot speak up about sexual violence done to them without fear of more violence.

What is this pressure on Seyitan to recant if Dbanj is not guilty? Didn't they already ask for 100m in damages? Why not allow the law take its course?
We have it on good authority that she is being pressured and induced to recant her testimony.

Dear @PoliceNG, you're already culpable for being a willing tool to harass and intimidate a citizen who accused Dbanj of rape. We will hold you accountable if anything happens to her.

Reps to engage state legislatures on domestication of Child Rights Act

The House of Representatives would engage the 36 states Houses of Assemblies on the need for the domestication of the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act and the Child Rights Act, @femigbaja has said.
According to the Speaker, the engagement would be conducted technologically due to the urgency and critical nature of the issue, considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the escalation of sexual and gender-based violence against women and girls in the country.
🇳🇬
The Speaker disclosed this while hosting some sexual and gender-based Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) led by @ChiomaChuka who presented a list of 100 women subjected to gender-based violence in Nigeria urging him to declare a #StateofEmergencyGBV in Nigeria.
