Anambra security outfit threatens to arrest ladies without bra, pants

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) on Sunday.

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

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

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

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

He made his position known in a message posted on his X handle.

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??”
