The Adamawa State Police Command has stopped a beach party planned for Sunday January 3 in Yola and said those found to be involved in the organization would be arrested.
Parents and some civil society organisations had earlier called on the Adamawa State government to stop the party over concerns that it would promote nudity and promiscuity.
Announcing the ban of the planned event on Sunday, the spokesman of the Adamawa State Police Command Suleiman Nguroje, said “Anyone found involved will be arrested and possibly prosecuted, the command will not condone any show or event that will cause outrage.
“The CP had ordered an investigation to unravel the sponsors and venue of the said beach party. The command will not allow any immoral act that could cause outrage in the society. Parents also have a role to play in this regard.”
The ‘Yola Beach Party’ as promoted on social media platforms had a gate-fee of N2000, and that “Age 18 over, scheduled to start at 2pm and there will be live music, fun, BBQ and drinks.”
Dateline Nigeria reports that in Kaduna State, a planned sex party was botched by the state government, leading to arrests and demolition of the supposed venue.
