Abuja residents are calling on the FCT Minister Barrister Nyesom Wike to address the growing concern of prostitution and brothels in the Federal Capital Territory. This issue has become a pressing matter, with residents urging the minister to take decisive action.

The rise of prostitution and brothels in Abuja is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach. Residents are urging the minister to establish a task force to raid brothels, arrest perpetrators, and provide support services for victims. They also want the government to address the root causes of prostitution, including poverty, unemployment, and lack of education.


Abuja, Nigeria's capital city, is grappling with the escalating issue of prostitution. The nuisance caused by prostitutes in Abuja has become a pressing concern for residents, businesses, and authorities.

Residents of Abuja have expressed concerns about the growing issue of prostitution in the city. According to them, prostitutes and their clients often create disturbance, disrupting the peace and quiet of residential areas.

Furthermore, prostitutes frequently engage in explicit activities in public spaces, causing embarrassment and discomfort for passersby. The proliferation of prostitution in Abuja also increases the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS transmission.

Prostitution is often linked to criminal activities, such as human trafficking, robbery, and assault, putting residents' safety at risk. Additionally, the presence of prostitutes in commercial areas can deter customers, harming local businesses and the economy.


Affected Areas:

1. Wuse: A popular commercial district, Wuse has seen a significant increase in prostitution, affecting local businesses and residents.
2. Garki: This residential area has become a hotspot for prostitution, causing disturbance and safety concerns for residents.
3. Jabi: The Jabi area has witnessed a rise in prostitution, leading to increased crime and safety concerns.

Residents are urging the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to take decisive action against prostitution, including raids, arrests, and rehabilitation programs. Increase police patrols and surveillance in red-light districts to deter prostitution. Establish centers to provide counseling, job training, and economic empowerment programs for sex workers.
Launch public awareness campaigns to educate citizens about the dangers of prostitution and the importance of reporting suspicious activities.

The Nigerian government has enacted laws prohibiting brothels and prostitution. Key provisions include:

- Section 223 of the Nigerian Criminal Code: Prohibits brothel-keeping, soliciting, and prostitution.
- Section 224: Prescribes penalties for offenders, including imprisonment and fines.
- The Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Law Enforcement and Administration Act (2015): Combats human trafficking, including sex trafficking.

These laws aim to protect vulnerable individuals, particularly women and children, from exploitation and abuse.

The FCT Minister has been urged to work closely with law enforcement agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community leaders to develop an effective plan to tackle this issue . With the support of Abuja residents, the minister can make a significant impact in restoring the city's safety and dignity.

Educated street hooker seeing in Abuja Nigeria

Employment very important

Will they provide jobs for them?

Nawa oo

Those Owerri girls will be rendered jobless

Prostitution is the oldest job known to man. You are wasting your time if you are fighting it.

It's a menace everywhere. We júst have to learn to live with it. House wives are into hook up right now.

You see one thing with Nigerians, when they see you working or atleast doing 90%, they'll look for irrelevancies and start criticizing you with it.

Did prostitution start today in the FCT, Bala Mohammed, Mohammed Musa Bello, El Rufai were all ministers, did they stop prostitution in the FCT?

Because it is Nyesom Wike, we must look for something to criticize him with.

If he starts clamping down on them,you will still be the same people to call him names. Nothing concern Wike with what you want to use your body to do.Advise your parents can't give, nah Wike you want to advise you.

This happened earlier today at Top View Hotel, Abuja.. A Yahoo boy picked a hookup girl, sealed her.


There is a rise in hookup prostitution in Abuja, leading to rise in insecurity and noise pollution in fct Abuja Nigeria. Every day hookup prostitutes are killed in Abuja by either yahoo boys, human traffickers, cultists, rapist, blood money making ritualists, human organs harvesters, overdose of hard drugs intake, armed robbers or by terrorists. Still some people will still be endangered their lives by practicing prostitution in Abuja.

FCT minister nyesom wike should as a matter of urgency step in and look into the matter of rise in prostitution in Abuja and do something about it before it is too late, his actions against prostitution in Abuja should be seen as a precaution to prevent Abuja residents from taking laws into their hands by attacking and killing prostitutes on the streets of Abuja because as it is right now Abuja residents are already frustrated by the nuisance prostitutes are causing on the streets of Abuja.

While prostitution has a long history, that doesn't make it acceptable or inevitable. We can work towards creating a more equitable society where no one is forced or coerced into prostitution.
Prostitution is often linked to exploitation, abuse, and human trafficking. Rather than accepting it as inevitable, let's work together to address these complex issues and create a safer, more compassionate world.

Fighting prostitution isn't about eradicating it completely; it's about protecting vulnerable individuals, particularly women and children, from exploitation and abuse.

Sincerely the increasing rate of sex workers and hook up girls in Abuja is very alarming.
The only things these girls talk about these days is how to go clubbing, how to hook up with men. Most of the girls that patronize me only talk about getting revealing clothes that will make them appealing sexually to men.
Young girls as young as 18 will be talking about how to go to club and hook up with men.

I don't know if it is failed parenting or societal decay.

Please show me a society where prostitution has successfully been fought.

Una want person wey like ogogoro to drive ashawo ...as in how

It can be curtailed. It can be subdued. I don't know who came up with that jargon about prostitution being the oldest profession, but what I know is that if governments wants to stamp it out, they can.

Okoroawusa:

While it's true that prostitution has existed throughout history, many countries have made significant progress in reducing its prevalence and addressing its root causes. For example, Sweden's 'Nordic Model' has shown promising results in reducing prostitution and human trafficking.

Countries like Iceland, Norway, and Canada have implemented policies aimed at reducing prostitution and supporting sex workers.

The fact that prostitution still exists in many societies doesn't mean we should give up trying to address it. Instead, we can learn from countries that have made progress in this area and work towards creating a world where no one is forced or coerced into prostitution.

Let's focus on promoting positive change rather than dismissing efforts to address prostitution. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction.

Prostitution is a complex issue, and blaming the minister's drinking habits is oversimplifying the problem. We need to address the root causes, not make personal attacks.
Despite his drinking habits, nyesom wike as former governor of Rivers state ban prostitution in his state because he understands the calamity and insecurity prostitution can bring into a state.

Wike bans prostitution and club houses in Rivers state


I agree that prostitution is a serious issue. What specific actions do you think the minister could take to make a difference?

MadPolitician:

Hahahaha! You are funny. Okay, the governors should stamp it out let's see

Then in Abuja and now is Abuja is different because then before wike became minister of FCT prostitution in Abuja is minimum but now prostitution in Abuja is maximum resulting to insecurity and rise in immorality among Abuja residents and underage teens.
Nyesom wike as former governor of Rivers state once bans prostitution in his state due to the insecurity that came with the rise of prostitution in rivers state.

Wike bans prostitution and club houses in Rivers state

Prostitution is a complex issue. Blaming Minister Wike or any individual oversimplifies the problem.

I understand your frustration. How do you think we can address prostitution in Abuja effectively?
What do you think Minister Wike's priorities should be in tackling prostitution?

while your words are true but the fact is that it cant be curtailed in Nigeria without massive job creation with proper equitable wages...Nigeria has evolved. social media is a major causative agent for its rampant scenery...Govt can only reduce the street sex hawking and open brothel...thata all. The core of it which involves the using of social media and clubbing cant be stopped

I understand your skepticism, but I believe that with a comprehensive approach, we can make a significant impact in reducing prostitution. It's not about stopping it completely, but about creating a safer, more dignified environment for all individuals.

I agree that job creation and equitable wages are crucial in addressing prostitution. However, that doesn't mean we should give up on combating the issue. We can work on multiple fronts: creating jobs, providing support services, and enforcing laws to protect vulnerable individuals.

You're right; social media has changed the landscape of prostitution. But that doesn't mean we're powerless. Governments and organizations can work together to monitor and regulate online platforms, while also providing education and support services to those involved in prostitution.

Reducing street prostitution and closing brothels is a good start, but it's not enough. We need to address the root causes of prostitution, including poverty, lack of education, and unemployment. By providing alternative livelihoods and support services, we can help individuals exit prostitution.


Let's not underestimate the power of collective action. By working together, governments, organizations, and individuals can create a movement that addresses the complex issues surrounding prostitution. It's not going to be easy, but it's worth trying.

right

Why don’t they have a designated red light zone like the one in Amstadan.

The profession of sex work is one of the oldest known to humanity. It’s unproductive to resist it.

You are wrong here. If all things Wike no dey into women.

AI response just full all your statements

If brothels are “clamped down”,many marriages will crumble.

I appreciate your emotional response but this is not AI response. Let's work together to find a constructive and respectful way to discuss this topic.

Houseofglam7:

🤭

You are wrong, because if brothels are shutdown by government officials, it will restore many crumble marriages; men who spent money on prostitutes and on alcohol in brothels would no longer do such instead such men will begin to take care of their wives and children and will become responsible.

I understand your concern, but closing brothels can actually help reduce exploitation and abuse. Let's explore alternative solutions for those involved.
How do you think we can support individuals affected by prostitution while promoting safer environments?

AcadaWriter0:

It's not about resisting the profession entirely, but it's essential to consider the power dynamics, exploitation, and abuse often associated with sex work.

Every country’s capital is usually like that..

No capital on earth that’s not filled with prostitute..

USA, Uk are filled with prostitute..

It’s never about government. It’s about a trade that pays off - there are demands from men for prostitute and whenever there’s a demand, supply must evolve..

If men stop demanding for prostitute, prostitution will get jeopardized but so long men are demanding, forget it, nothing can cure it..
