GWG had reported officials of the Kaduna State Government as alleging that Asher Restaurant and Lounge was the venue of a sex party the reason which was initially given for the demolition of the building housing the restaurant.

While ASP Olodowa said they invaded the restaurant premises with two Hilux vehicles, Adamu said that they went with three. They were, however, agreed that there was no sex party in the demolished restaurant.

ASP Yahaya said: ” When we got there, we saw crowd of people more than 50 not observing social distancing, not wearing face masks, no provision of hand sanitizers with many of them half naked, drinking and playing loud music who jumped the fence when they sighted the presence of police, we arrested the organizer and the two DJ’s and took them to our station.

”I can identify three of the defendant’s that were not half naked and I cannot for the those that were half naked because they jumped through the fence, we did not see any sex party on that day (27th December 2020) and those who jumped through the fence were those not observing social distancing,” he said.

Adamu on the other hand said that he was alerted about an operation to abort a sex party and that the officer in charge sent him a flyer of the sex party on his mobile phone through WhatsApp.

”The flyer did not carry any venue, then another chat indicated that it was going to be at Asher restaurant and lounge. When we arrested three of the respondent, they wrote their statement which I read to them and we both signed.

“We went there with 3 Hilux vehicles with 5 personnel in each of the Hilux and when we got there there was no sex party taking place there. The phone number on the flyer when tracked belonging to one Marvellous Akpan who accepted designing the flyer along with his friends.”

The police witness testified that the restaurant had nothing to do with the flyer saying “but I saw the 2nd respondent Abraham Alberah there but properly dressed in caftan”.
