Anambra Prostitutes Threatens To Reveal Names Of Govt. Officials Patronizing Them

According to The Sun, at least 2,000 prostitutes in southern Anambra state threatened to go on strike on Wednesday after local government officials demolished brothels where they lived next to a cattle market in the state capital of Awka, and the prostitutes are accusing the officials of destroying their business without notice.
The Anambra State Urban Development Board allegedly stormed the brothels near the border community of Amansea on Monday afternoon with more than 50 armed police officers on the suspicion that the structures there were being used as hideouts for kidnappers and other criminals.
Shortly after authorities demolished their homes, the angry prostitutes set the cattle market ablaze.
In an interview, the leader of the prostitutes who identified herself as Rachel said:

We are decent people. We do our business and go our way. We don’t harbor criminals. After all, most of the people that visit us are government officials. They want me to expose them? They destroyed our center and left behind other huts, kiosks and canteens that belong to the Hausa cattle traders. Is that justice? Don’t those one harbor kidnappers and criminals?

The prostitutes also said they would go on a four-day strike starting on Wednesday to protest the local government’s actions. “We want to tell them they are the people patronizing us,” Rachel said.
