The landlord of the property discovered that a self-contained room in
the compound let out to a single lady had suddenly become an abode for
about a dozen ladies whose conducts were suspicious.
The landlord informed the FCTA which deployed officials of the Social Development Secretariat (SDS) to the apartment.

The Acting Director, SDS, Mrs. Felicia Nwogu, said the suspected commercial s*x workers were arrested following a complaint from the owner of the property.
“We arrested 12 of them, but you know we cannot keep them for more than 72 hours, so when the human rights people came, we had to let them go, when they promised to move out of the house.
“When we were leaving the area after apprehending them, residents around were thanking us, saying ‘we can now have peace in this neighbourhood and sleep well. You people have done well'.”
However, when our correspondent visited the street one of the residents punctured SDS’s reason for releasing the suspected sex workers.
The man said the sex workers were being maintained by top politicians and military officers. According to him, a poor sex worker cannot afford to pay rent at that street where self-contained room goes for between N500,000 and N700,000.
A source said: “SDS officials were forced to release the girls. In fact, before they could leave the place, calls from above had started coming, warning the task force team to let the girls go.”
