Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw has addressed police claims linking ritual killings to hookup culture, which sparked considerable backlash on social media in November 2024 after her remarks about Yahoo boys taking advantage of women for rituals.
In a segment on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on December 4, 2024, Omolola Odutola, the Public Relations Officer for the Ogun State Command, highlighted the dangers tied to hookup culture.
She said, “Today, we have numerous reports of missing persons. By the time we start an investigation, not less than 10 young girls and ladies go missing daily. These cases are not accidental. Most are tied to hookup arrangements where young women are invited by strangers to unknown places, ultimately leading to their harm or use in ritual killings.”
The report attracted considerable media coverage and sparked a range of responses on social media.
One user on X reminisced about when Kate Henshaw was accused of endorsing femicide for sharing a comparable opinion.
The post read; “There was a time not too long ago @HenshawKate made a statement as regards this and some people came for her. Alas!!! She has been vindicated.”
In response to the post, Kate Henshaw wrote, “Let the role model females who spouted I was promoting femicide show naa.. Alas, their mouths are shut!!”
