A disturbing report circulated on X about 25 girls from Ebonyi State who were declared missing and later found in a brothel in Anambra State, where they were allegedly being used for prostitution. The news sparked outrage, concern about trafficking networks, and questions around security, poverty, and the protection of vulnerable young women.
Amid the serious conversations, one comment drew attention for the wrong reasons: “Ibo and prostitution 5&6.” Rather than addressing the crime, the victims, or the systemic failures that led to the situation, the comment reduced a complex human tragedy to an ethnic stereotype, shifting blame from perpetrators to an entire group of people.
