Prostitutes in the city of Abuja have been given a 48-hour ultimatum to
vacate the city or face the full wrath of the law while men and women
who patronize them will be punished with a death sentence.These
strict measures were laid out by the Secretary for Social Development,
Mrs. Blessing Onuh shortly after an official visit to several locations
known to witness heavy activity of prostitutes and their patrons in the
Federal Capital Territory...
Mrs.Onuh added that several other severe measures had been lined up after security agencies
combed several red-light districts and made several arrests.She noted
that experiencing a decline in the scourge, the secretary noted that
prostitution has metamorphosed from the conventional sedentary practice
in local brothels to a sophisticated cartel of “runs babes” and the
corporate realm.She revealed that the 'executive' type now holds in many
luxury hotels in the Abuja metropolis and the exquisite homes of the
super-rich adding that notorious spots include Port Harcourt Crescent,
off Gimbiya Street, Garki; Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent and Sheraton
Junction in Wuse II; and virtually all the discotheques; even in poor
neighbourhoods like Nyanyan, Mararaba and Gwagwa, little girls have
joined the illicit trade.
"They parade a horde of half-unclad girls and women of various ages and
sizes brazenly exposing themselves, while openly and desperately
beckoning on motorists and passers-by to pick them for the night. They
insult, poke rude jokes and pour vituperation on those who look at them
scornfully or ignore them. Indeed, for Abuja’s affluent and powerful
men, it has become commonplace to place order
for these women on the street or import them from other states and even
from far-flung countries in the Caribbean and Asian countries.
High-society social, political functions are incomplete without a harem
of these shadowy women. The import of these is that the upsurge requires
a holistic framework to be able to deal with this seemingly intractable
scourge."
