Abdullateef Fowewe

A security outfit in Anambra has declared its intention to arrest women seen in public without bras or panties.

The announcement, made via a public address system, was captured in a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter).

In the footage, an official of the security outfit, speaking in Igbo, claimed the directive was issued by the state Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo.

He noted that women wearing only panties in public would also face arrest.

Meanwhile, Anambra authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the announcement.

However, the former Senator from Kaduna State, Shehu Sani, in an X post on Monday, wondered how the security will verify compliance by ladies and if the law is also applicable to men.

He wrote, “Anambra’s bra and pant law. I don’t know if the pant law is applicable to men….and how can the security outfit verify ladies compliance?”
