Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state 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. Many nudity clubs are operating in the state capital.
The governor also banned under-age persons 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 prevent criminals from using them as hideouts.
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.
