Even after the ban by the fct Minister, Bala Mohammed, who gave prostitutes an ultimatum to leave Nigeria's capital or face the wrath of the law, investigation hs shown that there are more patronage as it has taken a new guise in the zone 4 area and the Utako-Jabi axis.
Below is the revealing report by Anthony Ada Abraham:Young and beautiful, some skinny while others are fleshy, walking in skimpy clothing waving at cars to come access their product. Eyes bright like the morning dew, but red for cash.
They are known as sharp girls while others call them ‘mamas.
’They are everywhere in the country especially the FCT. They are no ghosts they are known as ‘Ashawo’ or prostitutes. The so called ban on prostitution has little or no effect as the market has continued to boom with patronage from all angles.
The minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Senator Bala Mohammed who decried the steady rise in the population of prostitutes in Abuja, once noted that they constitute a nuisance as their services add no value to the beauty of the city ordering the FCT Special Task Force to arrest and prosecute them.
Also, men who patronise the girls were warned to desist from the act as anyone caught would be treated like the prostitutes.
but all those warnings seem to be discarded as they continue to buy the commodity with reckless abandoned.
they have increased their charges to between N4,000 and N6,000 per night stating that they now increased their price to between N10,000 to N15,000.
While another said “at least it will reduce the patronage because not everyone can afford such amount.The believe is that the agency responsible for bringing this so called business to a halt should channel properly, resources set aside to help offenders for a proper rehabilitation.
