1 / 4

A woman confronted a fellow passenger after allegedly catching him rubbing her thigh while they were seated on a public bus. A video of the confrontation has sparked renewed concern about sexual harassment on public transport. Another woman shared a similar experience from a trip between Benin and Asaba. She said an older passenger repeatedly placed his hand on her thigh and lap, then denied it when she challenged him. According to her account, other passengers took the man’s side after he claimed he had merely fallen asleep. The incident has raised questions about victim-blaming, bystander intervention and safety for women using public transport.

Public concern is justified, but video clips alone may not show every detail; reports still deserve to be taken seriously.

Buses should display clear reporting rules, and passengers who witness harassment can help by speaking up and supporting the person affected.
