The fact that Abuja is the capital of Nigeria and seat of government is no longer news. What is new however is the discovery of areas within the FCT known for promoting illicit s*x despite attempts by past ministers to discourage this trend.
The reason for this is not far fetched, owning to the growth of motels and brothels within the city.
Wuse Zone 4
Located in the city center, this area connects the rest of Abuja to
strategic places such Shehu Musa Yar’Adua centre, shoprite, arts and
culture village amongst others. One would hardly notice a sign of the
activities that go on in this place but at night, its a red-light
district.
The presence of a motel just before the Zone 4 bridge has made it
almost impossible for the past administrations to stop this meance as it
has become home to ladies of easy virtue.
Kubwa
Kubwa is the fastest growing satellite town in the FCT, this is
because it is home to most civil servants and low income earners who
cannot afford the luxury of having a house in the city centre. The
choice of this place by most residents asides the relatively cheap cost
of houses, is due to its proximity to the city centre, security and
livability of social amenities like good motor-able roads, potable
water, relatively constant electricity and a functional government
health facility.
In addition to the already existing hotels, trending in this part
of Abuja is the conversion of houses meant for residential purposes to
hotels. There is presently no street in kubwa without two or more
hotels. Also, the presence beer palours, lounges have greatly encouraged
the business of commercial s*x. One of such lounge is Movida.
Popularly called ‘Woman boku’, a phrase in Pidgin english which means ‘plenty women’,
this is the most notorious place in Kubwa for commercial s*x as it
plays home to young women from all parts of the country who are out to
make ‘quick money’ through prostitution.
At night, semi-naked girls, and few older women in this area would
beckon young men with different form of body language and gestures. Most
males take alternative routes to their destination to avoid such
embarrassments.
A resident of Kubwa who gave his name as Jerry told Freedomreporters.COM that a night cost as much as N3,000 depending on your bargaining power.
He said, ”Well, I used to visit this place before I got married.
Depending on how good you can bargain, one full night would cost as
from N3,000 and above.”
An interview with one of the young girls who simply gave her name
as Lizzy, revealed that the place has been in existence since the late
80s. Lizzy who spoke in smattering English blamed the unemployment
situation in country as reason for this menace.
Garki II
Rita Lori chick forming Rita Ora is a line from MI Abaga song bad belle.
What you may not know however is the fact that Rita Lori is a hotel
located in Garki II, Abuja. At night, prostitutes pose as visitors to
Abuja who are stranded. They hang around this hotel in search of
‘buyers’ for their ‘product’.
Mpape
Mpape is one of the suburb in the Abuja. Just like Kubwa, residents
are mostly civil servants and low income earners who work with the
government and other private establishments in the city centre.
Prominent in this place is the presence of beer parlours and
drinking joints. Ladies who are mostly from the middle belt and southern
Nigeria rent houses close to these beer parlours where they visit every
evening to get ‘customers’. Their rooms serve as hotels for these acts.
Utako
Unlike other areas, commercial s*x in this part of Abuja is done in
such a way that no one would really suspect a thing. Here, young girls
usually between five to eight people would pair to get a house, go out
mostly at nights, then return home in the morning. Some of these girls
also host their male visitors who usually live in the mornings.
