ULOKA CHIBUIKE
A woman named Chinasa has been trending online after a private s3xtape, allegedly released by her “ex-husband” in conspiracy with her daughter, surfaced. I have seen the amateur footage and can confirm it was not doctored —it shows two consenting adults engaging in intimacy, which is within their personal rights.
I have followed various opinions on the matter and also watched the victim grant interviews in an attempt to explain her side. What I find disturbing is how suddenly everyone has assumed the role of a moral police. From the footage and her narration, Chinasa is clearly the victim. Yet, no one seems to be highlighting any specific law she has broken that would allow anyone infringe on her rights. Instead, we’ve witnessed irrational and judgmental narratives while the true offenders walk free.
I also came across reports that some women, driven by nothing but joblessness, bitterness and illiteracy, vandalized her shop over the video. I hope this is false and remains just an allegation. But if such truly occurred and no arrests have been made, it reflects the harsh reality of how women continue to suffer abuse and injustice in our so-called “civilized” society. The thought alone is infuriating. If the shameful crucifixion being reported is anything true, it’s nothing more than a painful reflection of our collective hypocrisy. Let the universe bear me witness, I have no sympathy for c0wards and hypocrites who attack victims and incite public harassment.
Moreover, let’s not hide behind cultural sentiment. Infidelity has no place in Igbo cosmology. Chinasa is not living with any man and has denounced her previous marriage. She owes no one an apology for her private choices.
In any law-abiding society, the man and the daughter who conspired to release private, unauthorized clips would be held accountable. Releasing intimate content involving a 3rd-party without consent is a crime under the Nigerian law. Again, the only sexual acts that constitute a crime are those involving minors or non-consensual encounters. Anything else, whether it’s infidelity or moral indiscretions between adults –is a matter of personal or religious concern, not legal violation that would warrant any physical attack by citizens.
Chinasa must be protected, and the perpetrators made to face the full weight of the law.
I hereby call on the commisoner of police Anambra State Police Command to immediately take the victim, (Chinasa) into protective custody and those who violated her fundamental rights arrested and prosecuted.
The Commisoner for Women and Children Affairs in Anambra State, Hon. Ify Obinabo, must not remain silent on this gross abuse.
#justice for Chinasa
