Women Activists Ask IGP To End Harassment Of Folashade Olalude

A group of female activists has called on the inspector-general of police, Usman Alkali Baba, the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other rights groups to come to the aid of one Mrs Folashade Olalude and her kids who have been harassed continuously by her estranged husband.
The group also condemned the alleged continued harassment of Folashade, a young mother of two by men of Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in Lagos state, who arrested her and kept her in their custody, but was later released.
The group led by a human rights activist, Beatrice Bello, told newsmen in Abuja that Folashade’s ex-husband and his new wife, of being behind her ordeals.
While lamenting that Folashade had been routinely abused and her rights violated, the group added that her former husband abandoned their marriage in 2020 three years after they were married, and left Folashade with their two kids without performing his fatherly responsibilities.
It stated that they commenced a campaign of calumny against Folashade and her kids without any provocation, which was followed by death threats by the estranged husband and his new wife.
According to the group, Folashade lodged a formal complaint with the Nigeria Police,and an invitation was extended to her former husband but he did not honour it.
“The police extended several invitations to the duo but being that they are ‘big’ and ‘untouchables’, they treated the police invitations with the utmost contempt and grim.”
