Nigerian urban highlife singer, songwriter and graphic designer, Adekunle Kosoko, popularly known by his stage name Adekunle Gold has reacted to emerging reports that about twenty girls were raped last month at the 2017 Phynofest held in Enugu. A few days ago, unconfirmed reports emerged that despite huge security presence at the event held at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, 20 girls were raped by hoodlums.
Phyno who promptly reacted to the report said adequate security arrangement was made and wondered why such incident was not reported several weeks after the show held. He disclosed that the Police have commenced an investigation and a further update would be made public.
Meanwhile, Adekunle Gold has taken to Instagram to advise both men and women against the social problem of rape. Yesterday he wrote
"Nigerian women should be able to attend a concert anywhere without their breast being fondled and their bum slapped or pressed. Nigerian men must do better. What she wears is no excuse that is her own business. Being alone by herself is no excuse. Keep your hands to yourself."
