See eh… anytime someone speaks up, it’s suddenly like we just enjoy complaining.

The so-called “r@ping festival” in Ozoro, Delta State, should never have happened. I’ve been to Delta State myself, even visited the King of Oleh Kingdom during an outreach with a foundation, and it’s honestly shocking to hear something like this associated with that region. I never imagined that people in Ozoro would sink this low or allow such a disturbing act to take place in their own community.

But how do you keep quiet in this day and age when we’re still dealing with something as disgusting and sensitive as ræpe and molestation in our society?

How do people still find it so easy to exploit others like this?
I had to go and watch the videos myself before saying anything and what I saw was beyond disturbing.

According to what I read, women are supposedly not allowed to be outside by 12 midnight for seven days or they risk being ræped by youths or men. What kind of madness is that?

What kind of so-called festival promotes something so vile?

Which culture celebrates violating women instead of protecting them?

I watched young girls being chased and harassed by a group of miscreants lying in wait, ready to pounce on innocent women all in the name of a festival.

Is that what we’ve reduced ourselves to?

I saw a woman on an okada surrounded by a mob, the rider almost lynched just because he didn’t stop, and they dragged the woman off the bike like she was nothing.

I saw another woman stripped naked by about 10 grown men ...twenty! before someone casually decided it was “okay” to let her go. Like her dignity meant absolutely nothing.

I saw a man trying to help a lady escape from that chaos, and by then her clothes and bra had already been torn apart.

Let’s stop deceiving ourselves, this is not a festival. This is organised, targeted sexual harassment, enabled by whoever came up with that completely senseless and evil idea.

Maybe this has been happening quietly before, but now that it’s out in the open, it must end.

Everyone involved in creating and promoting this barbaric act must face the full weight of Nigerian law. No excuses.

Why is it that we always lean toward the worst possible behaviour in this country?

Why do we embrace evil like it’s normal?

Look at the number of able-bodied men outside, full of energy to assault women but are nowhere to be found when it’s time to defend their communities from kidnappers and real threats.

The state government must act, track down every single person responsible and shut down that nonsense completely. Enough is enough.

The Chief Priest in Ozoro, along with the Oramudhu leaders who allegedly organised and planned the festival without the knowledge or approval of the king, have been arrested by the Nigeria Police Force.

The Delta State Police Command has escalated its response to the alleged sexual assault of women during the Ozoro Festival, arresting five suspects, including the community head and chief organiser of the event.


Police spokesperson, Bright Edafe, disclosed the development on Friday via a post on X, identifying the key suspect as Chief Omorede Sunday, alongside four others from Oramudu quarters in Ozoro.

According to Edafe, the Commissioner of Police, Aina Adesola, has directed that the suspects be immediately transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further interrogation.

“The community head and chief organiser of the event, one chief Omorede Sunday and four other suspects from Oramudu quarters in Ozoro have been arrested. The CP has ordered that they should be transferred to State CID with immediate effect. The CP vows that anyone involved will be arrested and brought to justice,” he wrote.

Just imagine what it will be like if it's a continuous festival

Some bitter frustrated feminists already feasting on this

We all condemn this

But people who enjoy gender wars, please don’t they have opposite genders in their families…
Even if they don’t anymore, we are all products of two different genders

Every single one of us are products of male and female and will produce male and female as children or descendants ..

So I don’t get why some people are men haters

Barbaric and despicable act in 2026

Good development, someone must be held accountable!

Black man with black brain :

Waiting to hear from my very good friend, Bright Edafe.

They meant well


Why should a woman be outside by that time of the day



They're just trying to protect them from harm


We all know woman can't protect them selves

How come this disgusting culture only gained publicity this year. Poor women!

Thank God for Christianity.

The man who call women bannies here said it was false report as he schooled there....

What do you have to say now?

People in Ozoro must think they're living in medieval Africa

very good……I can’t still believe that some community or clan still practice this sort of backward and primitive culture in 2026……it was so disgusting and distasteful to watch women are meant to be protected and not exploited and abused in such humiliating manner…..a lack of total disrespect for womanhood and some of those idiats have sisters and mothers at home…..bunch of perverts

let's leave feminists alone on this and fight our own battles. 1000 men went after 1 girl. Who is to blame? We are men who should know and do better not rush to press breast as if it would save our lives. Society is failing today because of those kind of men. Let them vent and let us men strive to do better. That was just shameful.

As an Isoko man from Uzere that resides in Benin city, I'm in shock after reading this news.

This is goodnews, atleast a relief that the molested women are getting the justice they deserve.

There are videos I can never watch, for my mental health.
If the faces of the culprits were visible, they should be traced and arrested.

We can't be more annoyed at people who are rude to us online than people who are committing rape

accountable for what ? Is it not their transition passed to them by their forefathers or is it now that it is invalid.

All the haters of the church, let me not hear kpim from anyone of you this night

COMRADES are speechless; honestly, I don't know what else to say! Weird thing like this in this 21st century?

Thank God for the social media.

For those of them advocating that we go back to our CULTURE, make una see am o.
Thank God for Christianity

If this barbaric act had happened in any northern state, these pigs would be all over the internet saying all sorts about the subjugation of women in northern Nigeria.

It is common knowledge from history, that the colonialists spent more time in the Southern part of Nigeria, reason why they have more educated people. We can say 95% of the atrocities going on in northern Nigeria today is due to illiteracy and religion, but what then can we say is the major clause of the atrocities going on the south, if not sheer love for evil?

Even the religion has been monetized.
Rape, prostitution, cultism, hooliganism, drugs, fraud etc is all domiciled in the South.

I hate this country soon much

Traditional institutions and practices should be abolished. There’s not one positive thing about tradition. Nothing!

Bunch of lunatics, perverse and evil minds . I mean, who be dat devil junior brother way say dis na culture for their place ? People practicing evil all in the name of culture, culture my foot. wetin dey people mind eh , na god know

Very good.
To imagine that one mumu on the earlier thread was debunking the news that he stayed at ozoro for 2 years and never heard of such. That you've not heard of something doesn't mean it's not in existence.
