Nollywood actress, Dorothy Njemanze who once won a lawsuit against the Federal Government for labeling her a prostitute has come in defence of a married woman who came to Burna Boy’s December 26th concert with another man at Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, saying married women are human and need space  too to enjoy their freedom.

This opinion came from the actress-cum social activist when a video surfaced online showing the woman’s husband and the other man engaged in a fisticuffs where it appeared the woman’s husband was having the upper hand over his wife’s boyfriend.

According to many who commented on the documented fight, the woman’s husband must have been tipped off and he seemed prepared for the fight. And the load of comments that followed wouldn’t give the woman a time of day as they call unprintable names.

Dorothy who has a foundation that fights  for the rights of victims of any sort of abuses came to the woman’s aid by empathising with her.

She said: “ Those trying to shame the wife, you missed it. Presence of a woman with a man not her husband doesn’t mean she’s having sex with him. Married women are human and need space too, at times. They also like to get away from abusive spouses and relax. If it is not working, leave peacefully. This man (referring to the woman’s husband) is obviously violent. He sure has a complex problem.”
