Comedian and actor Mr. Jollof has expressed deep disappointment over the Ozoro festival incident in Delta State, where women were allegedly assaulted and harassed.

On Instagram, he described the act as "barbaric" and questioned how such disrespect towards women still exists in 2026, especially during Women's Month.

“I feel as ashamed as a Deltan in 2026 if such an attitude to disrespect women still exists. This is even women’s month—we celebrate International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day, yet this is happening. That is barbaric,” he said.

Mr Jollof has called on the Delta State government to address the situation urgently and ensure justice is served, emphasising the safety concerns for parents sending their daughters to school in Ozoro.

“I am calling on the Delta State government to speak up and hold those responsible accountable.

“Children go to school in Ozoro, how can parents feel safe sending their daughters there if this is what is happening under the guise of a festival?” he added.

The Delta State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of five suspects, including the festival organiser, Chief Omorede Sunday, and has vowed to bring all perpetrators to justice.

The Commissioner of Police, Aina Adesola, condemned the incident as "acts of sexual violence that are criminal, inhumane, and a grave violation of fundamental human rights"
