A security outfit in Anambra State has announced plans to arrest women seen in public without bras or panties.
The statement, made through a public address system, was captured in a viral video shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
In the video, an official of the security outfit, speaking in the Igbo language, claimed that the directive came from the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo. The officer further stated that women wearing only panties in public would also be arrested.
Reacting, former Kaduna State Senator Shehu Sani on Monday, raised concerns about how the security outfit intends to enforce the rule.
Taking to his X handle, he wrote, “Anambra’s bra and pant law. I don’t know if the pant law is applicable to men….and how can the security outfit verify ladies’ compliance?”
The security group in question, known as the Agunaechemba Vigilante Group, was established by Governor Soludo to help curb crime, including kidnappings and other violent activities, in the state.
