Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Taskforce) have raided an illegal brothel around Mile 2 area of Lagos.
The brothel was said to be noted for harbouring criminals who rob unsuspecting members of the public of their valuables and also serves as an outlet for the sale of illegal drugs such as Indian hemp, Tramadol, and other sex enhancement drugs, especially to underaged children.
Also, it had previously been demolished by the Agency during the clearing of illegal structures, shanties and containerized shops from Eric Moore Road down to Trade Fair axis.
However, the demolished brothel had been re-built by the owner after it was demolished for illegal construction on road setbacks. Parading the suspects, the Chairman of the Agency, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi said the raid became imperative following complaints that criminal activities around Mile 2 towards Festac were perpetrated by miscreants who reside in the illegal brothel.
He said, “It was disheartening seeing that the demolished brothel had been re-built by the owner after it was demolished for illegal construction on road setbacks.
