Six teenage commercial sex workers have been paraded by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, in Gombe state.
The Gombe State Command of the NSCDC made this revelations on Tuesday, after the teenage sex workers were rescued from a joint.
It was gathered that those paraded were between 16 and 19 years of age, hustling around Mile Three Meluku area.
One of the NSCDC operatives, Commandant Waziri Goni revealed that the teenagers were from neighbouring states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno and Plateau.
According to him, his men rescued the teenagers in the night at Gidan Solo, after useful information by some residents within the area.
He added that two of the operators of the facility had been arrested and charged to court, saying that the girls’ parents have been contacted but never showed up.
Goni said, “It is a pity none of their parents has shown up at least for them.
“These are promising youths wasting away with no certain future.”
The commandant pleaded with parents to ensure strict monitoring of their wards to avoid breeding of future criminals, adding that the likes of the girls harbour criminals.
Aisha Umar from Bauchi state and Faizah Mohammed from Gombe state claim that the hustling, (prostitution) is highly rewarding hence their involvements in it.
Mohammed said, “I charge between N15,000 and N25,000 for home services.”
Rocket Hotel founder , Love Samuel, who was also arrested and paraded, said she was unaware of the fact that commercial sex workers lurk around her hotel to look for customers, saying she gave out the structure on rent to two persons who run the place.
