The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has admonished the female folks on the dangers that can be encountered in wearing indecent dresses in the society.
He warned that ladies should save themselves from unnecessary violence that can be caused by indulgence in immoral dressing.
Hon. Obasa, who spoke while declaring open the fifth International Conference on Women and Children at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), Victoria Island, Lagos also noted that the society should be beyond reproach in their campaign against women molestation, saying that some reported cases on this menace have turned out to be untrue.
“Our ladies should desist from everything that can expose them to unnecessary violence. They should be mindful of friends they keep, gatherings they find themselves and the kinds of dresses they put on. Some of these variables are inherent triggers of violence against them in most cases. So, morality should be their watchword in every occasion.
“We should guard against false propaganda as some reported cases of violence against girls and women have proved non-existent,7” he stated.
Obasa also noted that the assembly passed two laws some years back on child abuse and domestic violence against women.
