Every house where drinks are sold and sex is exchanged for money is termed a brothel. A brothel by name Venue Spot, disguised as a restaurant and located along Ring Road, Enugwu-Ukwu is one of such places. Here, underage girls trade their pride in exchange for money.
This show of shame which has been going on for quite sometime ended on Friday night, November 29, 2018 when following a tip-off by concerned Enugwu-Ukwu indigenes, men of the Nigerian Police raided the brothel and made some arrests.
This action followed a joint petition by the Enugwu-Ukwu Traditional Authority and Enugwu-Ukwu Community Development Union ( ECDU) to the Awka Headquarters of Nigerian Police. The petition alleged that road users along Ring Road Enugwu-Ukwu were being harrassed and embarrassed by underage commercial sex workers.
During the raid last, it was observed with that the operators had used plywood shelter to attach to a fence demarcation between Ukatu’s family compound and Venue Spot premises. This contained a foam used for the illicit sex business.
The Venue spot was sealed immediately after the raid while the commercial sex workers and those patronising them were taken to Awka for arraignment in court.
The raid was supervised by the President General (PG) of Enugwu-Ukwu Community Development Union, Hon. Comrade Bonny Ozo- Nkwuaku with the help of Uruokwe Village Youths.
Honourable Nkwuaku called on parents to take more interest in the activities of their children and warned that Enugwu-Ukwu has no place for such illegal acts which breeds criminality and could potential lead to corruption of the morals of the growing ones, ‘Enugwu-Ukwu people are known for their industry and enterprise. We live very decent lives and are law abiding. We can not tolerate such businesses in our community. We have also discovered that most of the commercial sex workers and their patrons are not Ndi Enugwu-Ukwu, we can not allow them to come and soil the name of our town”, Nkwuaku concluded.
