In
a bid to curtail crime and indecency in Osun State, the state of the
virtuous (ipinle omoluabi); the state government constituted a military
task force known as SAS(Swift Action Squad) to enforce the ‘omoluabi’
principles in the state. It happened in Osogbo, the Osun State capital
few weeks ago, but I didn’t believe until I heard an eye witness report
few days ago.
A lady was caught dressed indecently by SAS. According to the eye witness, her blouse covered just half of her bréast.
She was asked to dismount the motorcycle she was riding on, and the
Okada rider was asked why he allowed such nudity on his motorcycle. They
were both punished by the Swift Action Squad (SAS)....
No
one would say much about a punishment meted out to someone dressed
provocatively in a society that doesn’t accommodate such dressing, but
questions need to be asked when the okada rider is forced to suck his
passenger’s bréasts.
According to the eye witness, the lady was ordered to bring out her bréast
to the full glare of passersby since she was proudly flaunting it. As
if that was not enough, she was ordered to breastfeed the okada rider.
The okada rider pleaded with them stating his ongoing fast as the reason
why he wouldn’t do what they wanted, but he had to oblige after he was
whipped severally.
The
state government has distanced itself from the actions of the task
force and has encouraged citizens of the state to report any member of
the task force that whip civilians. Whether actions would be taken
against members of the task force that forced the bréastfeeding
remains to be seen. However, many inhabitants of Osogbo, the Osun State
capital seem to be appreciative of the SAS’ s act as they believe it
will curb indecent dressing.
