The recently established security outfit in Anambra has announced that they will begin arresting women seen publicly without bra or panties.
The announcement was made publicly by a man with a loud speaker.
In the video shared online, the announcer explained that the order is from the state governor, Chukwuma Soludo.
He added that women seen publicly wearing just panties will also be arrested.
However, refuting the announcement on Monday through his media aide, Governor Chukwuma dismissed the information as a distracting announcement and trivial matter that has no legal basis.
While emphasizing that the state government or its law enforcement agencies is currently focused on booting out criminality from every part of the state, he further warned the public to disregard such announcement and continue supporting the security agencies with credible information on criminals around our communities.
The statement reads: “The trending announcement by the town crier in Abagana, Njikoka LGA, wherein the announcer stated that ladies who move about without underwear (bra and pants) would be arrested, is neither from the State government nor Agunechemba Security Outfit.
“Such trivial matters do not have any legal support and cannot be the focus of the State government or its law enforcement agencies at this time it is focused on ridding the State of every form of criminality. While this is not to encourage indecent dressing in our communities, it is important to make this clarification so as not to derail the focus of our law enforcement under any pretext.
“Kindly disregard any such distracting announcement and remember to continue supporting the Security Agencies with credible information on criminals around our communities — if you see something, say something!”
