Friday, July 11, 2025 - The Executive Chairman of the Gombe State Urban Planning and Development Authority (GOSUPDA), Bappayo Samanja Maudo, has reaffirmed the state’s commitment to eradicating immoral activities, particularly in gala houses and brothels.
Speaking with journalists on Thursday, July 10, 2025, Maudo
stated that any defaulting establishments would face demolition.
He said the authority’s decision to intensify the ban
followed the recent alarming discovery of an 11-year-old girl at a brothel
during a routine operation in the state.
According to him, having little children in lodges is
immoral and unacceptable, vowing that the authority would sanitise the city.
The state government had previously banned ‘gala houses’
where dancing shows are performed at night, as well as brothels, due to
concerns over immorality and security issues.
Maudo commended the state governor, Inuwa Yahaya, for his
“massive urban renewal projects through infrastructure development”.
According to the Guardian, several gala houses and brothels
have already been demolished, including Evergreen Hotel, Moon Shine, Fina
Hotel, Runko Hotel, and Zuma Royal Hotel, among others.
