Prostitutes Awka

We make N40,000 daily in Anambra brothel – sex workers claim. A 24-year-old commercial sex worker in Awka, Anambra State, Philomena John (real name withheld), has appealed to public-spirited Nigerians to help her leave prostitution and find a better life. Her plea comes amidst contrasting reports about the industry in the state.

Government Crackdown on Brothels

Meanwhile, the Anambra State Government has shut down a brothel in Amawbia, Awka South LGA. Authorities stated the establishment was closed for harbouring underage sex workers, drug dealers, and criminals. This action is part of ongoing efforts to curb illegal activities.

Rescue Operations and Systemic Risks

The Anambra State Police Command also recently rescued nine underaged girls found working in an Awka brothel. These incidents highlight the risks and exploitation faced by vulnerable individuals within the sex trade. Philomena’s appeal underscores the difficult circumstances many workers face while seeking an exit strategy.
