Political Rascality

A coalition of human rights organisations in Lagos State yesterday took to the streets, protesting against violence against women in the country.

The protesters demanded that a member of the state House of Assembly, Korede Osunsanya, representing Eti-Osa Local Government, be removed for allegedly assaulting a female staff of Sterling Bank.

The pregnant victim was said to have fainted under the barrage of blows from the furious lawmaker.

The protesters marched from the secretariat of the Civil Liberties Organisation, along Allen Avenue, to the state House of Assembly to submit a petition against the lawmaker.

What manner of rascality is this? Is this what they mean by servant-leader politics?
It's time these forms of abuse are checked.
