Prostitutes beat, injure security men in Akure

SOME prostitutes Saturday beat  security
personnel attached to the Ondo State Task
Force on Environment during the monthly
environmental sanitation exercise in Akure,
the state capital.
Their uniforms were torn into shreds while
they sustained  injuries due to the beating
they received when they tried to enforce
the environmental laws where their brothel
was located. The Commissioner for
Environment, Chief Sola Ebiseeni, led the
task force across the Akure metropolis to
ensure compliance with the  environmental
exercise.
During the exercise, which also took the
task force to some towns and villages,
some people violating  environmental laws
were arrested.
However, when the team of the task force
personnel got to the hotel, located  at Oke
Padre, off Lao Street, Akure, they met the
prostitutes with their clients drinking
alcohol and dancing.
Efforts of the security personnel to make
them observe the  environment exercise
were rebuffed.
The prostitutes prevented their clients from
being arrested.
The prostitutes and clients thereafter
descended on the Civil Defence and security
officials attached to the task force and beat
them mercilessly while they resisted arrest.
