The singer stressed on the fact that this was everybody’s issue and not for women alone.

“Any and everyone with a voice, I implore you not to quiet down online and offline until we see the resolution and this woman gets justice.

Age of Consent

Mavins Records artist, Di’ja, has called the attention of the public to an important issue which she raised a week to Adekunle Gold’s condemnation of the act of rape.

On Instagram, she proposed for more protection for young girls.

“This isn’t a fight against religion, tribe, gender, but a redirection of our energies and thought processes to protect the ones that birth your nation.

“If children become psychologically, physically, and emotionally damaged before a certain age, all you will have are adults with suppressed memories of abuse, which will lead to psychological mind warfare”
