Enugu govt orders immediate removal of indecent artworks on state roads
The Enugu State government has ordered the immediate removal of all indecent and obscene artworks and pictures displayed on major roads in the state.
The order is contained in a statement by the commissioner for children, gender affairs and social development, Ngozi Enih, on Friday in Enugu.
She described such artworks as detrimental to public morals and a contravention of the Child’s Rights Law of Enugu State.
Ms Enih said offenders would be made to face the law henceforth.
“You are, by this statement, ordered to take down without delay all indecent and obscene artworks and pictures displayed on Enugu roads. You are also warned to henceforth cease the exhibition of indecent and obscene artwork and pictures on Enugu roads.
“Those indecent and obscene artworks and pictures are detrimental to public morals and decency, and they also offend the provisions of the Child’s Rights Law of Enugu State, 2016.
“Any of such pictures or artworks displayed at your stand will warrant your immediate arrest, prosecution and possible forfeiture of such works of art. Consider this letter as the first and final warning on this issue,” she said.
