The
government of Ebonyi State over last weekend, shut down a strip night
club known as, Brifina Garden located around Waterworks Road in the
capital city of Abakiliki.
It was learnt that the authorities of
the club allegedly employed strippers and engaged in illegal activities
such as pornography, prostitution, sodomy, wanton selling and
consumption of illicit drugs, and other prohibited substances.
The Senior Special Adviser on Security
to the Governor, Ali Odefa, disclosed that he invited the manager and
managers of other clubs involved in such acts to his office after
information got to them, and warned them that the government frowned at
the happenings in their hotels.
He said: “I also warned the managers to
desist from such and stop parading girls who dance naked while some
objects are inserted into their vagina just to entertain their viewers.”
According to hm, the Brifina manager
went ahead to send her girls on the stage for different illicit displays
despite the meeting.
He added: “Brifina Gardens is notorious
for criminal hideouts, severally, security agencies have made some
arrest of criminals inside Brifina Garden, and it’s a festering nest for
criminals and that is what we don’t want, that is the reason why we are
sealing off this place.”
The Manager of the club, Chineye Okorie,
however, said it was put in place to entertain people. She says she
pays each performer N10,000 to dance naked in the club on Wednesdays,
while she pays any girl who dances naked on Fridays N15,000, according
to Premium Times.
She said: “I was invited by the SSA on
Security and he told me to stop my business and I told them to write to
the company. This is Nigeria and anybody can go for any employment so
long as you are earning money and you don’t steal or prostitute.
“This is someone’s business. Someone is feeding from this and the right thing needs to be done.”
One of the girls arrested in the
premises claimed to be the coordinator of the strippers adding that she
gets boys from Lagos State each week who are hired to dance naked with
the girls.
The lady further confirmed the manager’s
claims that each person goes home with N10, 000 on Wednesdays and
N15,000 on Fridays which sums the total sum to N25,000 weekly.
