In
a bid to curtail crime and indecency in Osun State, the state of the
virtuous (ipinle omoluabi); the state government constituted a military
task force known as SAS(Swift Action Squad) to enforce the ‘omoluabi’
principles in the state.
It happened in Osogbo, the Osun State capital
few weeks ago, but I didn’t believe until I heard an eye witness report
few days ago.
A lady was caught dressed indecently by SAS. According to the eye
witness, her blouse covered just half of her breast. She was asked to
dismount the motorcycle she was riding on, and the Okada rider was asked
why he allowed such nudity on his motorcycle. They were both punished
by the Swift Action Squad (SAS).
No one would say much about a punishment meted out to someone dressed
provocatively in a society that doesn’t accommodate such dressing, but
questions need to be asked when the okada rider is forced to suck his
passenger’s breasts.
According to the eye witness, the lady was ordered to bring out her
breast to the full glare of passersby since she was proudly flaunting
it. As if that was not enough, she was ordered to breastfeed the okada
rider. The okada rider pleaded with them stating his ongoing fast as the
reason why he wouldn’t do what they wanted, but he had to oblige after
he was whipped severally.
The state government has distanced itself from the actions of the
task force and has encouraged citizens of the state to report any member
of the task force that whip civilians. Whether actions would be taken
against members of the task force that forced the breastfeeding remains
to be seen. However, many inhabitants of Osogbo, the Osun State capital
seem to be appreciative of the SAS’ s act as they believe it will curb
indecent dressing.
