The recent “r@pe festival” incident in Ozoro, Delta State, has left comedian and actor Freedom Atsepoyi, better known by his stage as Mr. Jollof, extremely disappointed.
Tori News previously reported on unsettling accusations from Ozoro, Delta State, where film purportedly showed women being harassed and assaulted during a local festival.
Scenes of women struggling to escape groups of males were shown in the video, which provoked significant criticism. Some of the women could be heard yelling for assistance.
The Delta State Police Command announced the arrest of Chief Omorede Sunday, the suspected organizer, and four other people in reaction to the public uproar.
The Commissioner of Police, Aina Adesola, strongly condemned the incident, describing it as “acts of s*xual violence that are criminal, inhumane, and a grave violation of fundamental human rights.”
Reacting to the viral incident, Mr Jollof took to his Instagram page on Friday, saying: “I feel so ashamed as a Deltan in 2026 if such attitude to disrespect women still exists.
“This is even women’s month—we celebrate International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day, yet this is happening. That is barbaric,” he said.
He further called on the Delta State government to urgently address the situation and ensure justice is served.
“I am calling on the Delta State government to speak up and hold those responsible accountable.
“Children go to school in Ozoro, how can parents feel safe sending their daughters there if this is what is happening under the guise of a festival?” he added.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
