The Nigerian Bar Association, Yenagoa Branch on Thursday the 4th September, 2025 issued a press statement condemning the assault and dehumanizing treatment of one Miss Nancy by some female friends as seen in a viral video on social media.
The Chairman of NBA Yenagoa Branch C.B. Kekemeke Esq. noted that the NBA has watched with utter shock and deep concern the viral video circulating on social media depicting the cruel and degrading act of some female friends, led by one "Kadi", who stripped one of their friends, Miss Nancy naked, subjected her to humiliation, and violated her dignity as a human being.
Mr. Kekemeke stated that “The barbaric and reprehensible act is not only a violation of her fundamental rights to dignity and integrity of the human person as guaranteed under section 34 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and Article 5 and 6 African Charter on Human and People's Right (Ratification and Enforcement Act, Cap. A9 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. This is a grave affront to the values of humanity, morality and our collective sense of justice.”
The NBA Yenagoa Branch further noted that it is committed to the defence of human rights and the rule of law and condemned the inhumane act in the strongest possible terms and that no circumstance, provocation or justification whatsoever can warrant the stripping, shaming, and degrading of a fellow friend.
Kekemeke commended the police authorities in their preliminary investigation and offered to work closely with relevant security agencies to immediately investigate the incident and all those involved are not only identified, but brought to justice in accordance with the law.
The Branch equally pledged to extend an offer for pro bono legal services through the Human Rights Committee of NBA Yenagoa Branch to the victim and further invite her to cooperate with them without any fear of harrassment.
