Ebonyi Govt Shuts Down Night Club

The government of Ebonyi State has shut a nightclub. Brifina Garden on Water Works Road Abakaliki, for alleged pornographic and illegal activities. Speaking after the seal-off, Senior Special Adviser (security) to Governor Dave Umahi, Chief Ali Odefa said when he got information on the

club’s illicit activities, he invited the manager and the managers of other clubs to register government’s displeasure. He said two of the managers heeded the instruction while
the Brifina manager did not. She was reported to have sent her girls to perform the
pornographic act which made government wield the big stick. “Brifina Gardens is notorious as a criminal hideout. Severally, security agencies have arrested criminals there. It’s a festering nest for criminals and we don’t want that. That is why we are sealing off the place,''Odefa said. Club Manager Chineye Okorie said the pornography was to entertain people and every performer gets N10,000
each on Wednesdays and N15,000 on Fridays. Her words: “I was invited by the SSA on security who told me stop pornography at the club but I told him to write to the company. “This is someone’s business. Someone is feeding from this and the right thing should be done. I’m not challenging the state government,” she said. One of the girls, who gave her name as Chidinma said she was the coordinator of the strippers and she arranges boys from Lagos each week to dance naked with the girls. She corroborated the claim by the club manager that each stripper gets N10,000 on Wednesdays and N15,000 on Fridays, making a total of N25,000 weekly.
