The Delta State Government has strongly condemned reports of women being harassed and sexually assaulted during the Ozoro Festival, describing the acts as “barbaric and unacceptable.”
Officials emphasized that such behavior tarnishes the cultural significance of the festival and vowed to ensure perpetrators are brought to justice. The government also reassured citizens that measures will be taken to strengthen security and protection for women at public events across the state.
This statement comes amid growing outrage on social media, where many Nigerians have demanded accountability and better safeguards for women attending festivals and gatherings.
