NSCDC Bursts Students Prostitution Gang In Borno

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence
Corps (NSCDC) command in Borno on
Sunday said it had uncovered a
prostitution ring in various colleges and
tertiary institutions in the state.
The Corps Commandant, Mr Ibrahim
Abdullahi, made this known in an
interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri.
Abdullahi said the culprits were girls
aged between 25 and below.
He added that “the girls have their
facilitators and a chief pimp outside the
schools who usually communicate on
how to arrange the girls. They usually
charge between N10,000 and above for
a night.
“The girls don’t usually go out looking
for men, as they are being patronised
mostly by visitors who come into town
for weekend or for a programme.
“Our investigation also revealed that the
teenage girls are also into various forms
of nefarious activities like smoking of
cannabis sativa and abuse of Codein
cough syrup.
“We, therefore, want to appeal to
parents in particular to monitor the
activities of their children in schools and
know the type of company they keep at
all times.
“Bad friends in school are some of the
genesis of this form of anti-social
behaviour.”
The commandant, who gave assurance
that the culprits would be made to face
the full weight of the law, also urged
school authorities to ensure strict
monitoring of students.
