Prostitutes Beat Up Policemen in Akure During Sanitation

Uneasy calm pervaded Lao area of Akure metropolis yesterday, as prostitutes and their clients beat the security operatives attached to the Environmental Task Force monitoring the monthly environmental sanitation exercise.




Beaten black and blue, the security officials had their uniforms torn into shreds and sustained various degrees of injury during the attack

The Task Force led by the Commissioner for the Environment, Chief Sola Ebiseeni, had set out as early as 8 am to ensure strict compliance with the monthly environmental exercise.

While on visit of some towns and villages, some people were arrested for violating the environmental laws.

Trouble, however, started when the team got to Inner Circle Hotel at Oke padi, off Lao street in Akure, and met the prostitutes with their clients.

They were said to be drinking and dancing when the Task Force took a swoop on them. In the ensuing encounter, some Civil Defence officials and one other security personnel were beaten mercilessly, as the prostitutes resisted their arrest.

A female Civil Defence officer had her uniform torn into shreds by the irate women of easy virtue.
When it was obvious that the prostitutes and their clients had overpowered the team, they put a distress call to the police and SSS headquarters for reinforcement.

It took the intervention of additional security men comprising of mobile policemen, State Security Service official and Civil Defence before the security men could be rescued in the hands of their attackers.

When the Commissioner for Environment got to the scene, he ordered the hotel premises to be sealed off. Ebiseeni who was feasibly angered with the prostitutes’ action, asked the prostitutes and their clients to be arrested and taken to police station for interrogation.

He said the offenders aside from facing environmental court would also be prosecuted for assault on government’s officials.

Briefing reporters at the end of this month’s edition of the environmental exercise, Ebiseeni said 22 persons caught violating environmental law were arrested and taken to court immediately.

He warned that government would take over any uncompleted building that is constituting nuisance to the public as from Monday.
