The protesters hailed the governor’s wife, Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu and the coordinator of Domestic, Sexual and Violence Response Team (DSVRT) Lagos State, Titilola Vivour Adeniyi, for their swift response in making this matter see the light of the day.
“We thank them both for their motherly role, and we repose even greater confidence in their avowed crusade,” Nurudeen said.
The youth also marched to the governor’s office with a protest letter.
