Rise in Femicide: Adekunle Gold tells men in Nigeria, “Let’s redefine masculinity by holding each other accountable”

0

In the face of a rise in femicide cases, Nigerian singer-songwriter, Adekunle Gold has called on men to hold each other accountable.

This is coming on the heels of the murder of Christianah Idowu, a student of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State (FUNAAB).

She was reportedly kidnapped and murdered by one Ayomide Adeleye after collecting ransom from her family.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) page, the singer wrote that a man’s strength is not in staying silent while fellow men commit horrific acts against women.

He wrote: “Men, true strength is not about staying silent but about standing up to your friends who abuse, rape, or demean women. Let’s redefine masculinity by holding each other accountable.
#JusticeforChristianah.”

This comes after a 15-year-old boy named Goodluck Bison went into the home of a 14-year-old girl and allegedly hit her on the head with a pestle multiple times before raping her, leaving her inches away from death.
