The Lagos state domestic and s3xual agency in a statement on Sunday said that such remarks perpetuate harmful attitudes and contribute to a culture of violence and abuse.
The Lagos State Domestic and S3xual Agency has issued a statement to condemn the statement made by BBNaija All Stars housemate, Seyi Awolowo.
The actor has been receiving backlash online after bragging during an interaction with fellow housemates, Pere, Soma, and Whitemoney on Sunday how he’s already saving money for his sons to ‘run trains’ on people’s daughters when they grow up.
In response to the remark, the Lagos state domestic and s3xual agency in a statement on Sunday said that such remarks perpetuate harmful attitudes and contribute to a culture of violence and abuse.
The statement reads: “We strongly condemn the comments made by Seyi Awolowo in the disturbing video that has surfaced. Such remarks perpetuate harmful attitudes and contribute to a culture of violence and abuse.
“The bystanders’ passive response in the video is also deeply concerning because it only enables such behaviour to persist. It is important for us all to actively speak up in circumstances such as this.
“We remain committed to addressing issues of domestic and s3xual violence. Call our 24/7 Toll-Free Line at – 08000 333 333 to make a report and access support.
“Together, we can work towards creating a society that truly values consent and is free from violence.”
