Following the staging of a successful seminar for women, the Lagos State Judo Association is aiming to bring in more females to take up the sport for self-defence in the state.
Speaking at the one-day seminar organised by LSJA, in collaboration with Tinubu Support Organisation, at the Mobolaji Johnson Sports Complex, Rowe Park, LSJA chairman, Sheriff Hammed, said the aim of the seminar was to involve more women, in their efforts to popularise the sport.
“This seminar is part of our efforts to revive judo in Lagos and we are using the seminar and judo exhibition to create awareness about violence and sexual harassment against women because of what is happening around the society,” Hammed said.
STALKING CLAREMONT EXTRACT: On a hot summer s Saturday night in February 1995, Lisa (not her real name) an athletic seventeen-year-old, borrowed her older sister s driver s licence for a night out that was to end, as usual, at a nightclub in the suburb of Claremont, close to where she lived. The village looked and felt safe, unlike the central-city nightclub strip of Northbridge, which had a reputation for alcohol- and drug-fuelled violence. This protective ambience, tragically, provided a false sense of security. Because, in the early morning hours, Claremont s dark underbelly was exposed. More than twenty reports had been made to police in the late 1980s and early 1990s of young women in the vicinity of Claremont at night being followed and pounced on or groped indecently, and attempts made to rape them or drag them into cars.
