CNN’s multimedia journalist and features producer, Aisha Salaudeen has cried out on social media, after she went to a restaurant in Lagos and was told to step out because she can;t be there to eat without a man.
Recounting
what happened, Aisha said she wasn’t allowed into the restaurant because of a
new policy – which is that no women are allowed and would only be allowed in if
chaperoned by a man.
She wrote: “I
got kicked out of Harzoyka restaurant in GRA Ikeja today because according to
them, they have a new policy – no women allowed. This is a restaurant I’ve
visited multiple times in the past few years.
When I
pressed about why I was been hushed out, I was told that to eat in there I had
to be chaperoned by a man. I was too stunned to comment, I cannot have a meal
because I’m a woman?
@MsAdeola and
I had to eat somewhere else.”
