According to residents of the area, the masquerades from The n’ Owere Nsukka jave become notorious for attacking women and girls in the area and a move for their ban has become imminent.
Reacting to the sad incident, Heroine Women Foundation said the action of the masqueraded and their handlers must be probed and proper sanctions meted out on them.
The Executive Director of the Foundation, Amb. Onyi Mama, said this act against women and nurse shouldn’t be tolerated by the relevant authorities.
“Watching the video of the attack on this helpless lady is so painful and I wonder what has happened to our humanity,” Amb. Mama said.
“What is even more sad is that this is a nurse in the business ot saving lives and was on her way to work when these conscienceless individuals descended on her and was having her fun in her pain.
“How do you even begin to define this as cultural display? I call on the relevant authorities to round up anyone involved in this act to serve as a deterrent to others.”
