Actress Tonto Dikeh is calling on Nigerians to join in a protest against the release from prison of an accused paedophile she identifies as Idris Ebiloma.
According to Tonto Dikeh, Ebilome raped a girl child of 4 years old and has been in Kuje Prison. She says the paedophile will be released this Friday, 5th July 2019. She is calling for a life sentence for Ebilome and soliciting Nigerians to join in a protest against the scheduled released of the man.
Writing on her official Instagram page, the mother of one says:
“Idris Ebiloma raped Khloe where she was 4-year-old, he has been in Kuje prison but this Friday he will be released and that’s a BIG No!
“We want life in imprisonment, I will personally be in court with her Aunty on Friday to demand.#JUSTICEFORKHOLE.
“PS- We will be at the Apo High Court on Friday please come out so we seal that evil doer to what he deserves.”
Coming on the heels of rape allegations made against COZA pastor, Abiodun Fatuyinbo, emotions are particularly high. Nigerians are getting more sensitive about the issues of rape accusations. We are seeing more people speaking out about the painful experience and the feeling of shame that often accompanies their ordeal. This feeling of shame and self-blame (for what they are victims) is preventing more people from coming out. And understandably there is overwhelming support from, especially women, for those who are brave enough and dared to speak about their painful experiences.
Tonto’s cause has garnered a lot of support both from her fans and celebrities alike, many who have promised to join in the protest.
Here are some of the reactions from celebrities who commented on the post:
Mercy Okojie, @mercyjohnsonokojie: “Omg, I am with you in this mummy king…God help us all…OMG.”
@chified: “I will be there live. He is a wild animal and should be castrated!!”
@dabotalawson: “(crying and broken heart emojis) he ought to be sentenced to death.”
Waje, @officialwaje: “Weak! Too weak. I’m so broken by this.”
And many more reactions.
Meanwhile, Tonto Dikeh has promised to live-stream the protest if the court gives permission.
