Dorothy Njemanze is a well-known Nollywood actress who was harassed, sexually abused and abducted publicly on the street in front of her residence in Abuja by agents of the Nigerian government.
Over time she wrote more than 10 letters of complaint, to different agencies of government all to no avail. She and 3 others have sued the government and its concerned agencies at the ECOWAS Court in Abuja.
In reply to her charges, the Nigerian government denies all the allegations and says (without proof) she is a prostitute and so it is of no consequence if she was abused or not. It asks the court to throw out the case because, it would amount to promoting prostitution if it entertains it.
She is not a prostitute as falsely labelled. Assuming (but not conceding) that she is a prostitute, does that warrant sexually abusing her, and on the street in public?
This is a public interest case against gender-based violence, discrimination and abuse. It is also about demanding accountability from government institutions.
The matter comes up tomorrow Friday 24 April 2014 at the ECOWAS Court, Kashim Ibrahim Way, Wuse II, Abuja, 9am.
Thanks

Thanks for some other fantastic post. The place else may anybody get that
kind of info in such an ideal means of writing?
I have a presentation next week, and I am
at the look for such information.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
I do not know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone
else experiencing problems with your site. It appears as if some of the text in your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback

Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article.
I desire to read more things about it!
Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and
tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with
someone!
Stunning quest there. What occurred after? Good luck!
