Anambra Government Denies Ordering Arrest Of Women Without Bras, Pants

The Anambra State Government has refuted claims that it authorized the arrest of women not wearing bras and pants.

In a public statement, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, the Senior Special Assistant on New Media to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, dismissed the viral announcement made by a town crier in Abagana, Njikoka Local Government Area.

He clarified that the message was neither issued by the state government nor associated with the Agunechemba Security outfit.

Opara emphasized that the government has no interest in such matters, as they have no legal basis.

He reiterated that the administration’s priority is to tackle crime and uphold law and order rather than regulate citizens’ undergarments.

While encouraging decent dressing within communities, he urged residents to disregard the false announcement and continue supporting security agencies by providing credible information to combat crime.
