A group of youths in Ubeji community in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, under the aegis of Ubeji Youth and Employment Development Organisation, has gone tough against ladies involved in indecent dressing.
Monday, July 3, 2023, It was gathered that the enforcement of the exercise tagged ‘War Against Indecent Dressing’ among young ladies in the community, had caused panic among females in the locality.
Members of the youth group had started clamping down on suspected offenders by subjecting them to strokes of the cane or in the alternative imposed fines on them.
It was learnt, that some of the victims, were compelled to pay fines as high as N10,000 or receive 40 strokes of the cane for indecent dressing.
Stanley Bomele, the Secretary of the youth group, confirmed the development, and told journalists that “the exercise became necessary due to the provocative ways ladies dressed in the community.”
Bomele warned, “The wearing of miniskirts, bummer shorts or tight (bikers shorts) would no longer be tolerated in the community”
He added, “That most of the girls had gone haywire in the name of fashion style with some of them almost going about in nudity, which is irritating and does not tell well of the community”, he said.
