Anambra Deputy Speaker Praises Police For Rescuing Underage Girls From Prostitution
The Deputy Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Honourable Chukwuma Okoye has commended Anambra State Police Command for rescuing eight under-age girls being used as sex slaves at a brothel at Amawbia, Awka South Local Government Area.
Speaking with journalists in Awka, Honourable Okoye, who is also the member representing Awka South Two Constituency, condemned the act vehemently and frowned at persons who take advantage of vulnerable individuals to make money.
He warned them to desist from such inhuman acts, as Anambra State Government has zero tolerance for such, and will always punish perpetrators of such barbaric acts.
Honourable Okoye wondered why some people take advantage of the living conditions of under-age innocent girls by engaging them in commercial sex, instead of discouraging it.
He extols the Anambra State Police Command for its quick intervention and arrest of the owner of the brothel, as well as handing the girls over to the state Ministry of Women Affairs.
