In his attempt to clean up the state of all sorts of vices, Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo has ordered the immediate closure of
nudity clubs in the state, describing their existence as “strange and
devilish’’.
Okorocha, who gave the order in Owerri on Wednesday at the end of the
meeting of the state Security Council, said that the operation of
nudity clubs debased Igbo culture.
He said that such clubs had compounded the eroding morality of the
youths and warned that the government would no longer condone their
destructive activities.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that many nudity clubs are
operating in the state capital.
The governor also banned under-age persons would henceforth be
barred from attending night clubs in the state and warned that any club
found admitting such persons or selling alcoholic drinks to them would
be closed down permanently.
The governor also ordered the demolition of a house in Oru East Local
Government Area and a filling station in Mbaitoli Local Government Area
allegedly owned by kidnappers.
Okorocha warned that government was determined to stamp out kidnapping in the state.
He also warned owners of uncompleted buildings in the state to clean
and secure them to avoid their being used as hideouts by criminals.
The governor decried the upsurge of secret cults in some secondary
schools in the state and warned student cult members that government was
poised to deal with them.
He expressed concern over the increase in child trafficking in the
state and said that government had taken steps with the security
agencies to check the trend.
