Nightclub Raid, Patriarchy and Moral Policing in Abuja By Leo Igwe | Sahara Reporters The raid at Caramelo nightclub testifies to an incipient moral policing that is slowly being introduced in Abuja. This policing process is heavily biased...READ MORE:

The recent raid at a nightclub in Abuja raises so many questions regarding the law as well as the social and moral trends in the country. Some days ago, some officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration stormed a popular nightclub in Abuja called Caramelo and arrested female strippers. From available reports, they apprehended only female, not male dancers. The officials claimed that the raid was carried out in response to security reports and complaints from residents in the area.

Now it is a welcome development that the FCTA authorities are trying to combat noise pollution in Abuja. This is a fantastic initiative. But it seems that they have made Caramelo a scapegoat. This is because there are many pubs in Abuja where they play loud music, very loud music, as they do in Caramelo. But these places are still operating. So, why have they not raided these clubs and pubs?

In addition, the officials said that they had validated the complaints about strip dancing at this night club. Hey, what did they expect to be going on at a nightclub? If people are not dancing at a club, what would they be doing? Fasting and praying? Niqab dancing? Is this not like complaining about people’s modes of dressing at a venue for a fashion parade? Is strip dancing illegal in Nigeria?
