Youths in Ubeji, Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, under the aegis of Ubeji Youth and Employment Development, have embarked on an exercise tagged “War Against Indecent Dressing” among young ladies in the area.
The exercise which started on Monday, July 3, 2023 had caused panic among ladies, making them to dress decently or risk being sanctioned with a fine of N10,000 or 40 strokes of the cane.
According to the Secretary of the body, Mr Stanley Bomele, who spoke to newsmen, the exercise became necessary due to the provocative ways ladies dressed in the community.
Bomele said most of the girls had gone haywire in the name of fashion with some of them almost going about nude, saying the development was irritating and did not tell well of the community.
He said the exercise would continue till young girls in the community learn how to dress properly.
He warned that the wearing of mini skirts, bumshorts or tight (bikers shorts) would no longer be tolerated in the community as indecent dressing had been the major cause of sexual assaults and harassment in the community.
