The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has ordered the closure of all brothels harbouring prostitutes in the state.
He gave the order on Tuesday in Lokoja during a meeting with all first and second-class traditional rulers, including local government council chairmen in the state.
He also banned the wearing of facemasks in public places to ensure the proper identification of persons in the state.
He urged the State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Local Government Chairmen, union leaders, and security agencies to meet with tricycle and motorcycle riders for proper documentation.
This is sequel to a series of security breaches being experienced in the state in recent times.
He further sympathized with the family of the killed security agents in Ajaojuta Local Government Area last Saturday.
