Commercial sex workers in Gwaram local government area of Jigawa State have been given 30 days ultimatum to vacate the area or ready to be married off.
The Chairman of local government council, Zaharadden Abubakar, announced this on Saturday at a meeting with a delegation of Sara community, a popular weekly market in the area.
The council chairman who also directed the immediate closure of all clubs and beer parlour in the local government area, said the move was aimed at tackling immorality.
Abubakar ordered all the commercial sex workers operating in the area to present names of their clients to the local government authority before expiration of the dateline.
He said the “council is ready to take care of the wedding responsibilities of indigenous sex workers that are ready to give up the trade,” adding that the sex workers not indigenous to the area will be repatriated to their states.
Abubakar said the council had mobilised the police ahead of the repatriation of non-indigenous sex workers to their states of origin.
