Nigerians on social media are criticising the Acting Secretary of the FCT Social Development Secretariat, Hajiya Safiya Umar, over alleged indiscriminate arrest of ladies and raids on several nightclubs in Abuja.
It will be recalled that in April 2019, no fewer than 70 ladies were arrested at different nightclubs in Abuja on allegations they were sex workers.
The arrest of the ladies sparked uproar on social media when they claimed they were raped, segxwally harassed and extorted by security operatives.
Months later, a new report titled “The Untold Story of the AEPB, Abuja’s Uniformed Female Harassment Unit” which detailed the ordeal of the ladies arrested and how the Abuja Environmental Protection Board (AEPB) has been culpable in the alleged extortion and harassment of young women in Abuja metropolis.
In the past few months, there have been several reports of indiscriminate arrest and harassment of ladies in the capital city over alleged acts that do not conform with the city laws.
A Twitter user alleged a few months ago that Abuja police specially stop and search female passengers in taxis, which forced many to start sitting at the front posing as taxi drivers’ wife because that is the only way to escape being harassed by law enforcement agencies.
Hundeyin’s report has indicted Umar as being the mastermind of the series of harassment ladies now experience in Abuja.
The report on the activities of Safiya, and a viral video in which she is seen vehemently condemning ‘indecent dressing’, sparked uproar on Twitter on Thursday as some Nigerians criticise her over claims that she wants to turn Abuja into a Sharia city.

Kiki Mordi of BBC Africa who exposed some university lecturers involved in segxwal harassment in her undercover report “Sex for Grades” has also lent her voice to the campaign.
See tweets below;
“They brought out two girls from the van and asked for money, those that didn’t have money were all raped by the police, anyone that paid was allowed to go and from the van...” #AbujaRaidhttps://t.co/0iM0Ahwvwg

You have FAILED if you think that this abuse does not concern you because you're not a woman or a woman living in Abuja.

It's a fight for everyone. I am a part of this too & in a country where things work, she should be in jail.
How do you dictate how people dress in a secular country? In Abuja??? #AbujaRaid https://t.co/gYuJesfzkJ
In 2019, some people are arresting women because they don't conform to Islamic codes of fashion.

In 2019, the #AbujaRaid was just a sharia law exercise in the Federal Capital Territory.
A country that claims to be secular, WTF!!https://t.co/6Y8Ip8Elin
This is her, even when the Director of national human rights commission reprimanded her for wrongly policing women, she said she won't stop as that is her mandate. Part 1. https://t.co/IQHP8PxDLQ pic.twitter.com/rw1iEvoR04

Let me get this straight: she's angry that women are walking around without covering their hair and she thinks she's the single moral compass for a diverse society. So, she's employing men to rape girls.
