The Alue-Do fertility festival, held in Ozoro, Delta State, Nigeria, has come under severe criticism following reports of women being chased, stripped, and sexually assaulted during the celebrations. The incidents occurred in March 2026, when groups of outsiders allegedly disrupted the traditional rituals, leading to chaos and violence. Videos shared on social media depicted horrifying scenes of women fleeing from crowds of men, with many being assaulted in public view. One survivor recounted her traumatic experience, describing how she was attacked shortly after arriving at the festival. In response to the public outcry, Delta State authorities confirmed that several arrests have been made, including that of a community leader. Police spokesperson Bright Edafe stated that strict action would be taken against all involved, and the accused have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation. Gender rights advocates are raising alarms about the implications of such public violence, emphasizing the need for societal change.
