Nigerian governor Shuts Down Nude Clubs

A Nigerian Governor; to be precise, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state has ordered the immediate closure of nude 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.
