A cleric, Pastor Samuel Adegboye, has condemned the rising
rate of prostitution among girls in the country and called on the Federal
Government to impose total ban on “the dirty business”.....
Adegboye, who is the
General Overseer of Testimony Chapel, Ilorin, however, said the government
should create job opportunities to dissuade those going into prostitution for a
living. The cleric noted in an interview on Thursday in Ilorin that those
engaged in full time prostitution were lazy and not ready to acquire education.
“Most young girls become lazy and not ready to further their studies since they
have hope in operating as a social worker to survive. “ Imagine most hotels are
being used to harbour commercial sex workers where they have their own rooms to
host their clients; at times, you will see them roaming the streets in search
of clients without shame. “Government must enact a law to ban such an evil
business. It is becoming worse everyday as some non – Nigerians will even come
to practice such a dirty act in our dear country. “ Prostitution is responsible
for increased rate of sexual diseases in our society. When different people are
allowed from neighbouring countries to come and live as commercial sex workers
in Nigeria without let or hindrance. “Since the government has refused to
intervene, Nigeria now become a home of commercial sex workers. It is time to
act fast and curb the evil practice. “ Government must use security agents to
check every hotel and arrest any person suspected to be a commercial sex
worker,” he said. (NAN)
