Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has ordered the demolition of illegal brothels and criminal dens notorious for prostitution, gangsterism, and other illicit activities in Maiduguri, the state capital.
The order came during the Governor’s visit to ‘Bayan Quarters’, a settlement near railway staff quarters in Maiduguri.
The area is known to harbour criminal elements and minors engaged in commercial sex activities.
The Governor expressed concern about the rise in criminal activities associated with these establishments and emphasised the need to ensure the security and well-being of the community.
Zulum explained that while the settlement which harbours criminals and minor girls for commercial sex activities would be demolished in 72 hours, the illegal brothel operators, however, have 12 hours to vacate, saying “The government has been duly informed of the activities that are going on here; this settlement is completely illegal.
People are killed here; this place serves as a breeding space for insurgents. Therefore, I have directed that everybody vacate the place.
“I understand that this land was approved by the Borno State Government to be used by the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), but unfortunately, it’s been rented out illegally with all forms of criminal activities taking place.
For this reason, the government has revoked the earlier approval, and henceforth, the land belongs to the Borno State Government.”
