The Nigeria Police Force defends its arrest of hundred women in Abuja, says arrested suspected prostitutes do not pay tax.
Following the recent clamp-down of about a hundred women in a night club in Abuja and the outrage after it particularly by human right organisations and feminists, the police explained the reasons for their action.
ACP Abayomi Shogunle said prostitution is a crime under the law and a sin in line with the beliefs of Abuja residents. He added that prostitutes spread HIV and it is clearly against our culture as a people. They don’t even pay tax from their daily proceed he concluded.
