Nollywood Actress
OpenLife reports that Nollywood actress Shine Rosman has spoken about what she describes as ongoing incidents of sexual harassment affecting women in parts of Lagos, particularly in Yaba.
She said the issue is widely known among residents but remains unaddressed.
“Do you know how bad sexual harrssment is in Lagos? Like go to Yaba, as a girl and see how you will be touched inappropriately.
“Everybody hearing this knows that it is true. But till today, nothing is being done about it.”
She described what she claims are repeated incidents of inappropriate contact in public spaces without consequences for those responsible.
“You’re walking in Yaba and people are touching you inappropriately and nothing will happen.”
Rosman questioned the absence of effective intervention and raised concerns about personal safety in such environments.
“If the government is not going to do anything, is it not ok for us to defend ourselves?
“In 2026, in a country like Nigeria, s+xual har+ssment is still one of the most passive things.”
She also raised concerns about the implications of such behaviour occurring in open public spaces.
“If a man can s+xually h+rass you casually during the day, what do you think he can do behind closed doors when no one is looking?”.
The comments were made during an interview with Tolu Afilaka, where she discussed women’s safety in public areas of Lagos.
