operation, stormed some major streets in the metropolis, and our personnel were
lucky to apprehend eight young girls and a boy who posed as ‘Good Evening
Girls,’” Aminuddeen said.
He explained the activities of the suspects, noting, “These
young girls are usually picked by wealthy individuals who take them to places
they want, have fun with them and give them money ranging from N5,000 to
N30,000.”
Aminuddeen said the girls, aged between 15 and 20, confessed
to having been involved in prostitution for some time.
The operation was conducted on several streets including Zoo
Road, Banana Zoo Road, Ahmadu Bello Way, Lamido Crescent, Tukur Road, Lodge

Audu Bako Way.
The Deputy Commander-General added that the board would
continue to raid such areas to apprehend violators of Shari’a law in the state.
He also urged parents to ensure the proper upbringing of
their daughters to curb prostitution and other social vices.
Aminuddeen stated that once ongoing investigations are
concluded, the suspects would be charged to court for appropriate prosecution
