Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state, has banned brothels harboring prostitutes and the public use of face mask in the state.
The ban is part of measures put in place by the state government to tackle insecurity. According to the governor who was speaking in an emergency meeting in Lokoja on Tuesday, the ban of face mask is to aid in proper identification of persons.
