The Nigerian military has shut down underage brothels at Kasuwan Fara, Shagari low-cost area of Maiduguri, Borno State.
The brothels were shut down following a report by Daily Trust exposing the illegal activities committed at the brothels.
According to Daily Trust, residents of the area said some people were also arrested.
A resident, Halima Abdul, said, “The military raided the place two days ago and arrested some people. The whole place is now quiet. We don’t know where they took the culprits to.”
She said the raid and the subsequent patrols by the military in the area had changed the community to a serene environment for the residents.
“We suffered years of torment and misery but with what we are seeing today, normalcy is setting,” she said.
Another resident, Solomon Joseph, described the raid as one of the best things that happened to the community, while calling on the military to allow those with legal business to return.
“There are traders doing their legal business at Kasuwar Fara, we appeal to the military to allow them back,” he said.
