The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has condemned a disturbing comment made by one of the BBNaija All Stars housemate, Seyi Awolowo.
ThisNigeria reported that Seyi, who was speaking with some male housemates after the Saturday party, said that his sons will “run trains” on girls.
To “run a train” means multiple men having sexual intercourse with a woman at the same time, either consensual or non-consensual.
The comment sparked outrage on social media, with Nigerians condemning the 34-year-old married father of two boys.
Reacting, the Lagos DSVA tweeted “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.
