The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ogun State Council has ordered the sack of sex hawkers, popularly known as ‘Oloso’ , as well as miscreants within its secretariat and environs located, with a marching directive that anybody who flout the order risk arrest.
Penpushing reports that the order was contained in a statement issued by the Chairman, Wale Olanrewaju stressing that the directive became necessary to sanitize the secretariat which has become hidden treasure of darkness for commercial sex hawkers and miscreants
The secretariat of the journalists known as Iwe-Iroyin Press Centre is located along Oke-Ilewo in Abeokuta South local government area of Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital, which was named after the first newspaper in Nigeria known as Iwe-Iroyin in 1859
Penpushing further reports that the statement emphasized that the council noted that all human nuisances and social vices such as commercial sex work, unguarded smoking and aimless wandering that have characterized its secretariat have caused the union its reputation and integrity and must be stopped immediately.
The statement disclosed that the body of journalists have agreed to deploy the services of the Nigerian Police and other security agencies to ensure the arrest of any sex worker and other wanderers found in the act of these uncharitable endeavours that have brought the union to ceaseless public ridicule.
“Iwe-iroyin is not a hook-up place or site for criminal activities, rather, it is a corporate territory, where absolute sanity is required. We are therefore resolved to rescue our secretariat from the ignominy recklessly enthroned by these faceless, lowlifes and morally unacceptable characters with inextricable proclivity, bringing the union to ceaseless public opprobrium”, the statement reads.
Penpushing reports that the council appealed to the general public, especially those that were into the operation of commercial sex work to avoid the secretariat and its premises like a plague, warning that defiance by these wanton would not be treated with kid gloves as all legal means shall be explored.
Meanwhile ,the statement made available to Penpushing media added that the union assured of its commitment at always ensuring proper sanity and getting rid of illegal activities and businesses in and around of its popular secretariat
