In Anambra State, the Soludo Security Outfit has issued a strict directive regarding women’s public dress conduct, warning that those found walking without bras or panties will be arrested.
This announcement, which has sparked widespread debate, was made through a public address system, where women were advised to dress modestly to avoid issues.
According to reports, the directive originates from the state governor, Chukwuma Soludo, and aims to enforce discipline and public decency.
A video circulating online shows a security officer using a megaphone to relay the information to residents.
In the announcement, young women were specifically urged to dress appropriately to prevent unwanted consequences.
Meanwhile, the directive has generated mixed reactions, with some supporting the move while others question its necessity.
One social media user, @Olanisimi, remarked, “Good discipline begins at home… we’re not in a white country, we’re African.”
However, critics argue that the government should focus on more pressing security concerns.
Another user, @Harriet.ok, expressed frustration, asking, “Will this reduce the killing and kidnapping in Anambra??? Please do better.”
Despite the controversy, the security outfit maintains that the policy is meant to promote public decency and protect women from potential harassment.
As discussions continue, the policy’s enforcement and its impact on society remain topics of interest.
While some argue that such measures promote morality and safety, others see it as an unnecessary restriction on women’s choices.
Regardless, the directive has already set a precedent for public conduct in Anambra State, with authorities expected to implement it strictly.
