Some of the ladies were said to have been compelled to pay fines as high as N10,000 or receive 40 strokes of the cane.
The Secretary of the youth group, Stanley Bomele, while confirming the development, told news men that “the exercise became necessary due to the provocative ways ladies dressed in the community.”
“Most of the girls had gone haywire in the name of fashion with some of them almost going about in nudity, which is irritating and does not tell well of the community,” he added.
He said the major cause of assaults and sexual harassment in the area is the indecent dressing among young ladies.
“The wearing of miniskirts, bummer shorts or tight (bikers shorts) would no longer be tolerated in the community,” he warned.
