Martin Obono, an lawyer and activist, first raised alert over the arrest when he took to his Twitter account (@martobono) to uncover that a some of the ladies were molested and assaulted with wounds in their private parts.
As indicated by Obono, the joint task force that arrested these young ladies have been supposedly molesting and assaulting them. Some even showed the bruises and bleeding in their vaginas.
In spite of the fact that prostitution is unlawful in the Nigerian capital, law enforcement officials have used it as an excuse to assault and harass women who go out during the evening in the city.
At the point when the authorities raided the dance club, they barely arrested men, yet arrested ladies they believed are 'inadequately dressed' and blame them for prostitution.
In another improvement, investigations conducted human rights lawyer Dorothy Njemanze, revealed that the ladies arrested amid the raid were asked to either pay the sum of 5000 naira or have intercourse with them before they can regain freedom.
